They tried to communicate with us a couple of
times after we came out of the blackout and before
we put the drogue out .
I didn't hear exactly
what he was saying. He wasn't hearing anything
I was saying either as far as I could tell .
He
wasn ' t acting like he heard what I was saying.
He gave us our blackout times of 5+23 and 9+21,
and there really wasn't too much we could do to
check these out .
After we got the main chute deployed , I told Ed ,
"Quick! Take your blood pressure ." The chute
came out around 7500 feet or so , and when we
finally got the thing dereefed we were floating
down nice and gently.
F.d s tarted taking t he
blood pressure, and it seemed like it took an
eternally long time .
By the time we got down
around 5300 feet or so, I said, "F.d , get the
blood pressure done because at 5000 feet we're
going to go to a two-point attitude." He
fooled around and fooled around and fooled
around.
Finally we got down to 5000 feet and
I said, "Ed, you' ve got about three or four more
seconds , and we ' re going to two- point attitude . "
It was a l ittle sl ow.
I don ' t know why.
