Rambo's First Mission
Well, sorry to say it, but on Sunday May 25 at approximately 12:15 PM, "Rambo" left the safety of the Aeronca Champ,
skydiving all the way into "Enemy Territory ".
Actually many eye witnesses have confirmed that he LITERALLY "hit the ground"
in enemy territory at almost terminal velocity.
Rambo confirmed that he sustained some superficial injuries ( broken back, dislocated
left and right shoulders, and about another half dozen or so broken bones) but feels that he will be "Good to Go" in a week or so.
This was Rambo's first mission and, considering the outcome, you can understand why he feels so bad.
He feels he has learned some strategic information that will allow him to reassess the mission, and hopefully
have better success, if the powers that be will let him have another go.
Unconfirmed sources have speculated that Rambo was not at fault for this unsuccessful mission.
A long time friend of Rambo's has suggested that this incident has affected him emotionally ( Rambo is afraid of heights
and this incident has not helped). He says he has got to jump as soon as possible, so he can sleep at night.
His friend has also confirmed that he has not taken the mistakes made by the upper mucky-mucks lightly.
As you can see in these pictures Rambo has undergone constructive surgery and is good to go.
