Did you have to have a custom made chute because of your weight, or did they give you one that the military uses when they drop vehicles out of planes?

Love the currency @asheland! My first thought was...I wish I knew more about paper currency because I love the artwork on some of those. Then my second thought was, the last thing I need is another thing to collect. I gotta stay focused. Those are beauties though.
Here are a few of my photos taken at and around Neuschwanstein Castle and its neighboring Hohenschwangau Castle including a view of the Alpsee looking out from one of the castle windows.

Can you explain the chart a little. Are the numbers at the top the diameter of the chute?

Question on parachute etiquette.
I know why you call yourself Bi gmark. I've seen a pic of you. You must go about 315 lbs.
