Something is missing from the story that he co-founded the mile-high club

You've left out some things, including the fact that they were nude when rescued, and you also don't recite the "perfectly good reasonable explanation" they gave for their nudity, which involved the necessity of sacrificing their clothing in order to save their own lives. And you should change the assertion that he's a founder to state that he's a co-founder. It takes two, so I've heard.

Was their altitude actually 600 feet? Referring to that as a mile high is an exaggeration on a par with delivering to the then-Mrs.-Pierce only 1 and 4/11ths inches after promising her 12.2600:1700:6759:B000:F51B:B6F3:E7B7:96DE (talk) 06:08, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
