editExact fall height:21,980 feet as per urban myth desktop calendar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.149.100 (talk) 14:05, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I have some serious doubts about the accuracy of the fall height. It is listed in several publications with no information about exactly where the number came from, at least not that I've seen. It seems kinda silly to think that in the middle of a raging battle, while worrying about things like getting his chute on and making sure he didn't get shot, that Lt. Chisov would have bothered to get an exact reading from the plane's altimeter before jumping. I think he had many more important things to worry about. Unless someone can provide a cite that explains the number's accuracy, it should be left as approximately 22,000 feet. Engineer comp geek (talk) 20:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I think I just figured out where the number came from. Someone took 6700 meters and converted it to feet. If this is the case, then the number 21,980 should not be used, since it implies a greater precision than is actually present here. Engineer comp geek (talk) 20:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Seems he's Chissov (Чиссов) not Chisov: [1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.203.220.7 (talk) 12:54, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
