JohnRich 4 #1 January 13, 2009 Once I've read my monthly issues of "Parachutist" I stack them up on a book shelf in a closet. I just noticed this for the first time - see the attached photo. The spine of the magazines, when all stacked together, make up an image of the USPA Wings symbol. Every month they've been printing a slightly different tiny slice of the Wings on the spine, slowly progressing from left to right. And even though this image has been building for many months, this was the first time I actually noticed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #4 January 13, 2009 It's a pretty neat trick.

Andy9o8 2 #9 January 13, 2009 I don't think Parachutist did it at all. I think it's a divine sign, like the Virgin Mary burned into a grilled cheese sandwich. I'd leave that stack right where it is, if I were you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #11 January 13, 2009 QuoteIt's a pretty neat trick. Could USPA have had this in mind when binding a year's worth of magazines together? Obviously. It's a good thing the guy who came up with the idea didn't forget one month, leaving a blank swatch through the middle of the image. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #18 January 14, 2009 I gathered all of last year's issues that I could find (missing Jan and Feb) and yep, the USPA logo is there. With a clipped left wing anyway...

Even so, I can't see it building much interest or suspense. However, that Maxim image on the other hand, certainly would. It started at the toes and worked it's way up. Imagine the people watching that image build every month, one small slice at at time. Will she be topless in July? Will she be a blonde in November? Ohhh. Ahhh.
