pilotdave 0 #4 January 26, 2003 That banner was bought and reinforced by a rigger. It's some kinda thick felt material or something, reinforced around the edge and across the back witih webbing. Not a material you'd probably think about using making a sign from scratch. A new banner was made on F-111 to try it again, whenever they get a chance. The rest of the pics from that jump are at http://www.inform.umd.edu/studentorg/cpsc/bannerjump.html. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
