piper17 1 #1 December 21, 2007 These are from March of 1976. It was a CPI road trip to warm, sunny Z-Hills during a cold, nasty New England winter. There is a VERY well-known RW guy in one of the pictures who most should recognize."A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition"...Rudyard Kipling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoop Although I didn't start skydiving until much much later, that person does have a semblance to Roger, as I've done some excellent fun big ways with him several years back."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #8 December 22, 2007 Electra, not Loadstar. Hard to believe 10Es were ever used for jumping... only a few E models were ever made (6 or so I think?). They were the really fancy ones with extra power. Don't think there are any E's still flying except for one that was converted from an A model to recreate (most of) Amelia Earhart's last flight 10 years ago. (And that one isn't flying anymore anyway). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made 449 jumps from 'Amelia' before she was sold to Paul Fayard. She later featured on the dustjacket of Skies Call II and then suffered a hangar fire before being rebuilt and ending up in a museum. Hoop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
