howardwhite 6 #12 September 25, 2007 sprtdth and Mountainsky1, how 'bout meeting in the middle; it's a PTCH-7. The picture is from an Omnipol ad in the November, 1968, Parachutist, headed "The latest competition parachute for exacting sportsmen and experts has furnished a convincing evidence of its superiority." The ad notes that this Czech canopy was used by three first-place winners in the '68 World meet in Austria. For more, see http://www.parachutehistory.com/round/ptch.html I'm happy to see that I've provoked Mountainsky1 to make only his fourth post on dz.com. By utter coincidence, the cover of this issue of the magazine shows USAFA cadet team members exiting a C-123K over Colorado. (And the back page is a Pioneer ad with my picture in it.)
