catfishhunter 2 #1 April 17, 2005 We had a Student Chop today and the main landed near the Highway. By the time anyone got over to where it had landed it was nowhere to be found. It is a Spectre 230 I will have the color Pattern and Serial Numbers sometime tomorrow but for those that keep up on eBay if you see a Spectre listed by a Whuffo in Utah Please PM me or call Skydive Ogden. 801-627-Jump. Still holding out hope that it will be returned but whoever stopped to grab it took off with it. It is not like they didn't see where it came from as the Sky was full of parachutes ALL DAY and there is only one airport.. Edited by slotperfect to add specific canopy information: Color Pattern (cell-by-cell): Jade-Lemon-Lemon-Jade-Lemon-Lemon-Jade Serial #: SP-230-006285 Oh and I hit 300 Today!

BillyVance 35 #2 April 17, 2005 Quote Oh and I hit 300 Today! So update your profile already! But, sorry to hear about the missing canopy... hopefully it will be recovered soon. I was one of the lucky ones, having to chop mine years ago over a neighborhood near the DZ. I had just dropped my gear at the packing tent when manifest called saying someone had brought my main back..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(unless it a baglock or something that might be lost maybe?)) i don't usually look on ebay but i see people in the bonfire post hard to believe "other sport" auctions all the time... but if some random picked it up on the side of the road, it could be listed on ebay as a hot air balloon or a kite!! you know what i mean if you've seen some of those auctions.. horrible knowing the colors would help.i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #11 April 18, 2005 This thread is about finding a stolen or missing main canopy. This forum is about skydiving gear and rigging. One liners and hijacking the thread are not going to help catfishhunter find the canopy in question. Keep it on the topic, please.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #12 April 18, 2005 Thanks :) I The Color Pattern is Jade and Lemon I am waiting for Brian to get me the serial number. I didn't talk to them yesterday so I should know more today. Hopefully it was returned but I doubt it Brian would have let me know by email or called if it was returned. To answer a couple questions. It was not my canopy it was student gear. The student was making her level 3(first non tandem jump) I "THINK" seening line twist for the first time freaked her out. But doesn't matter she was under it and decided to get rid of it. I am not her instuctor so didn't ask and don't really care I am just trying to help Brian and Suzanne get their canopy back. It only had a litle over 100 jumps on it! I will post later after I talk to Brian and get the Serial Number. Thanks MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

slotperfect 7 #13 April 18, 2005 QuoteI will post later after I talk to Brian and get the Serial Number. Once you get the info PM it to me and I will edit your original post to include all pertinent information in bold. Having all of your information in one place will help. I will leave it stuck to the top of the forum for a while to see if we get any action. Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
