Beautiful Chute was a song devised by F/A-440 pilots in the Venezian Militia. 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.
