Anyone ever find parachute-related junk at yard sales?

Here's an old post card I found today at a junk shop. I usually pick this kind of stuff up if they don't want too much for it.

That's cute!

I love stuff like that.

According to those parachutes they're wearing, she would make a 4-point landing and he'd make a 5-point landing!

This year alone I got an old O2 bail-out bottle.

An M-A1 pilot-chute.

And artificial horizon from some old war bird.

A like new long skinny 6 pack cooler that says USPA on it.

About 50 green 550 lines cut off of probably a T-10


~and an old book about Smoke Jumpers.

Lakeside, Ca. every Sunday.

A have a buddy I stay with out there when I hit SoCal, that lives about a mile from it.

Part of the Sunday morning routine.


Drives my faithful Indian friend NUTS when I start 'pickin' through stuff.

5 bucks for the artificial horizon...and it works!

Grew up in "the box", and have been to that flea market a LONG time ago.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

RATS!!! ...... and all I find is "cute stuff"
except once at a pawn shop I found a red Sodfarm container with R2's and inside was a round reserve (I think I either left it at the loft at Zhills or gave it to the kids) and a Strato-Star (sold it to a guy who was going to make a kite ). I still have the container, though. Oh, and an old PD 7-cell base canopy at another shop.

When I was in college, I was a co-op at General Dynamics / Fort Worth, and made a few jumps at Seagoville during those terms.
There was a guy there jumping a rig he picked up for a ridiculously low price at a local pawn shop.
We kept kidding him about jumping a "hot" rig.
Especially funny, since he was a cop.
