drdive 0 #1 July 14, 2010 You look at an add in classifieds for "complete systems" or whatever, and there is NO mention of size of the main, reserve, dates of manufacturer, etc. Here is a current example: <>> Wouldn't you think that any licensed skydiver would have enough sense to include a little more pertinent info?? I see this frequently in the classifieds. Just my opinion and rant "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #3 July 14, 2010 I bet Red would like his canopy back. You should forward the ad to Flight Concepts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #5 July 14, 2010 QuoteI bet Red would like his canopy back. You should forward the ad to Flight Concepts Yeah, and if you can get a serial number, then he could find out who bought the gear and pass it on to which ever demo team. That set-up is exactly what the 101st PDT used to use. Seeing as how Red doesn't make an STII reserve (STI Sharpchuter is the biggest reserve he makes)....hmmm...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

theonlyski 8 #9 July 15, 2010 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=95467;d=1 No phone number listed. I dont imagine he would be dumb enough to put all of his real info on his page, but you never know... ETA: His profile lists that gear, so it could be legit."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smurfmws 0 #13 July 15, 2010 Get his AKO e-mail address and if he dose not give it up then it is definitely fake. Because if it is stolen you can run the e-mail address right back to his commander and the MPs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
