    You might want to contact Deland Fl.DZ. There was a story on the Discovery channel? a few years back about a Brit (I think) who was paraplegic who they helped get back in the sky. They did a lot of experimentation with his legs and webbing the jumpsuit between the legs and he found a way to fall stable. I am sure they would be willing to help. I think Mike Johnston and MadDog McGuire were very involved with him.....Hope this helps. Always remember, when you get where you're going, there you are!

It was on the cover of PARAGEAR's catalog in the late 60's sometime. What a ride, with 10 onboard the tail lifted as soon as the pilot hit the throttle!!!

    I met "Smitty the jumper" at Maize Ks drop zone in 1970. He made a static line jump that day and sprained his ankle landing a "paracommander". He had some of his old gear with him. Man, was that scary stuff. His lines were attached to a steering wheel from a model t Ford. Silk canopy and all. He sure could tell some stories over the beer after dark. What a character!!!!

    I got my local university library (Kansas State) to get me a copy of Skies Call 3 from another university library through their interlibrary loan dept. Of course I couldn't keep it but it was the only one I hadn't seen at the time, and I sure enjoyed it for the three weeks I had it. Might be a possibility for those just wanting to look them over.
