I remember reading that the harness/container was 1959. That doesn't say anything about what year his parachute was manufactured. 1946 seems pretty old for a parachute, but I'm not educated at all about older parachute fabrics. Owned by Remi #?

Why Pilots Should Not be Allowed Firearms on Planes

What would be a "safe direction" to point a weapon in the cockpit of an airliner? Owned by Remi #? -
What was the common practice at the time? I'm pretty sure my rigger records my main, reserve, h/c, and aad serial numbers on the report I get when he repacks for me. I can't find one to verify. Owned by Remi #?

How much time elapsed between the demand and the delivery? I'd guess that Cossey already knew the S/Ns, but what would have prevented them from opening and repacking the rigs? Owned by Remi #?

It's not Monday, but should we be concerned? Owned by Remi #?

Lately? Just because you're tuning in just now doesn't mean this hasn't been an interesting topic for the last 35 years or so Owned by Remi #?

Search for user ckret (Carr) and read his last couple of posts. That's really gonna be easier than trying to explain it. Owned by Remi #?

Wow. Owned by Remi #?

That's an interesting video, thanks. Agent Carr really does look pumped. It's a shame that he got chased out of these forums. I'd love to hear his comments. They implied that the parachute was found about 2 weeks ago. I wonder how long it will take them to verify it's origin and dig up the site. Owned by Remi #?

All the stories I've seen have said it was buried in a field. That's why I questioned the OP about it being found by kids playing in the woods. Probably just a mix-up, but I don't think it was in the woods. Owned by Remi #?

The article says it was buried in a field. Are there conflicting news stories? Owned by Remi #?

which reserve is better for high wing loadings?
labrys replied to SuperGirl's topic in Gear and Rigging
Isn't any canopy perfectly fine at any wing loading? High speed landings rarely hurt a canopy, it's the suspended load that takes the hit. Owned by Remi #? -

I think I remember that. Wasn't it the first year that Heavy Metal was a category in the Grammy's? I might be way wrong.... my first thought was that "Enter Sandman" was nominated and should have gotten the prize, IMO. Owned by Remi #?

I agree. It's more experience than someone outside the family and staff will have. I'm not convinced that any experience really matters though. And more so, I'm thinking that less experience might be better. Owned by Remi #?

Well, shit. I started off with getting pissed off at you and then I started laughing. Owned by Remi #?
