NickDG 23 #29 July 15, 2008 It's definitely the North American Parafoil. I love calling them to order one for a customer. The girls there have those sweeter than honey southern accents . . .

UDSkyJunkie 0 #30 July 15, 2008 Quote I find it very hard to relate to the view that the Stilletto is "so old". In my reality, it's fairly new-ish, and the Strato-stars/Sleds/ParaCommanders are "so old". Whereas in MY reality, the stiletto is kind of old, but YOUR age is just beyond comprehension."Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission."
