Dropping the "Rubber Jungle" is always a fun time but the paperwork that comes once back on the ground isn't on the top of my list of ways to spend my time.

It took me awhile to figure this one out, couldn't, so I googled; Dropping The Rubber Jungle

"Just thought you'd like to know that when pilots hit the switch that makes the oxygen masks fall out, they call it 'dropping the rubber jungle."

I guess us "not-for-real- pilot-wanna-be-only- play them on VATSIM types" need an education once in a while for these little diddies.

We had them in my work also. DRT, 5150, 4F's, Freeway chicken,etc.. :lol:
