Everybody seams to think that after a 23 year break from skydiving, that I am about to jump this canopy. Far from it, I now see myself as a complete novice, and will be jumping student gear for as long as it takes to learn to fly a modern canopy. My original question was not "Should I jump it ?" But as it is in such good condition, I wondered if it would be worth holding on to. I was given the canopy so have nothing to loose. I'm actually considering buying a PD Storm 170. I'm sure you were jumping all these canopies at a far greater wingloading than I would ever consider. Bob

I don't know the difference between ZP & F111, because I haven't jumped for 23 years, and things have changed somewhat I was jumping a Scorpion 178 sq ft, high aspect (3.1) canopy and really wanted to know how different this would feel. They would have almost the same wingloading 1.0 Obviously I won't even consider jumping this canopy until I feel completely confident. I have over 350 jumps on my Scorpion. I never seen people really flying this type (elliptical) canopy.Or any other for that matter. A parachute was just to get you safely to the ground, ready to re-pack and get back up. I hope you can forgive my ignorance.Im just trying to get as much information as I can about the Blue Track BT60. Thanks Bob D7479

I have just acquired a Blue Track BT60 canopy. It is in fantastic shape for a 23 year old,and has less than 100 jumps. It looks and feels like new, still crisp and shiny, and not stains or tears. The only other information I have is from the warning panel on the tail. Max weight 220lbs. I believe it to be elliptical. So can anyone help out with the following. Canopy size. What material ZP or F111. What are its flying characteristics. Many thanks Bob
