What to do with a museum?

Recommended Posts

Hi all. New here and out of the sport for a while (~20+ years), and never had the heart to dispose of my gear. Had fantasies about starting a club or DZ, and did some collecting, all of which has been in storage. I now need to make it go away. The museum includes a paracommander, cross-bow, delta II, small (original) paraplane, 26' navy con, and various 24' and 28' rounds. I suppose I could cut the lines off and ebay, but it just feels wrong. Suggestions anyone?

Save them for water jumps...

I jumped a Papillion into the lake at Lost Prairie Last summer.

Heck if they are inspected and still jumpable why not.... I would not take them terminal but for hop and pops into the lake... great fun.:)

Donate it to the new USPA Museum?

There's folks out there that LOVE vintage gear. Drop me a line and I'll try to put you in touch with a couple of friends that love vintage gear if you want to get rid of it.

I have a home for your Delta 2. I am also looking for a Thunderbow. A collegue of mine has a Delta 2 and a Thunderbow (Yellow with Red Arrow) and we want to do demo's on them.

PM me if you interested

Thanks

hey have one last great skydiving fling at the WFFC in July. It'll only cost you 49 bucks to come a party for 10 days, and you'll find all kinds of people there who are into stuff you have. We have a pc jump or two every year.
Bring them there and have a great garage sale to people who will really appreciate what you have.
Cross post it on our website if you'd like!
