Beautiful Chute

Beautiful Chute was a song devised by F/A-440 pilots in the . The song was a plead to an unknown supernatural power that, on escape from a burning aircraft, the pilot's parachute would successfully open. The concerns by the pilots were not unfounded, as the rebel made fighters did not have ejection seats, forcing the crewmen to manually detach the canopy and leap from the aircraft in the case they had to escape the stricken craft, the forces of which generally rendered the pilot unconscious, leaving it up to fate as to whether they could open their parachutes in time.
Peculiarly, unlike other songs, it did not find its way to other planets beyond , despite the fact some F/A-440's had been exported. Despite this, there were other songs, usually with different melodies and lyrics
from the Venezian version, that stated the same point of hoping that one could open their chute before they hit the ground.
