Hope that gives you the info you seek.
Not really as none have the very high initial speed gained before hitting those heights with denser air, plus of course the old record jump has an early small chute depoyment so his pattern would be very different as his air resitance would be massively altered.

An interesting tidbit I hadn't previously read. Kittinger's instruments showed he continued to accelerate for a bit even after the drogue deployed at 93,000 feet.

Guess the air is a might thin up there.

It was that tidbit that set me wondering in the first place.
