wmw999 2,588 #7 January 11, 2010 Jack lived right down the street from NASA for awhile at least. I remember going to his house in Webster with some friends in about 1976 or so.

drjump 0 #8 January 11, 2010 That canopy looks like one of the US Team canopies (PC) from the early 70's that Sussie Joerns jumped. I'll bet that the canopy has been "short lined" about 44 inches. Look real close at the connector link attachment, check the sewing. Jack worked for NASA at the space center as an engineer for a good number of years.

AggieDave 6 #9 January 11, 2010 Doc, didn't you come across one of those super-short-lined team PC's a couple of years ago? I wonder if the serial numbers are sequential or really close?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drjump 0 #10 January 11, 2010 The one I was trying to sell was a RWB 1970 US team paracommander-#70 11850, mfg. June 1970. By the way the complete rig (still in jumbable condition) is still for sale! It did not have the eagle on the front, just a circle of stars and USA on the stabilizers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
