I too jumped at Downsville , Woodbine , and Pelicanland in the 70-80s The photo of the beaver at Ridgely was cool;thanks Roger, A further trip down memory lane by way of my logbook tells me that after Mike Shultz, Tom Forsythe ran Pelicanland till its mysterious close. I made my 100th jump from that beaver by making a pumpkin-drop (Oct 79). I still smile thinking of that. Ray Mcully , Bruce Rogers , R. Kline Kim Harloff and George Kabeller were also in the logbook at the time (there were others). " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

I Made several jumps at Pelican-land. After Shultz there was a beaver that I had plenty of jumps from. If I remember right I was there when they had a fancy painted dc-3 for jumping. I do remember Mike S. dressing me down for saying Id like to have mesh in my reserve steering mods. He felt there was plenty of jumps made without the mesh. Another guy ran the dz untill it closed shrouded in mystery. Does anyone remember who ran P-L after Shultz and why it closed? " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

Hey Frank How are you doing?I came across a web site recently; but dang if I can find it now "skydiving in the 60's" I think, But it mentioned you among other jumpers. It described jumping in (littleton?) Colo. New Mexico, Vietnam, So Cal. Still here, Jumping c-182 and the occasional otter. Would like to get to POPS this Oct. at Eloy.Can you come out to play? ............................................J........................... " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

T-10 (35 ft) with 28 ft chest reserve. " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

When the reserves were moved from the front to the back where you couldnt reach them ,to assist their deployment.We were nervous enough to grab at ropes. Ropes to assist the reserve. Also called " last-hope-ropes"or "Jesus strings or ropes" No photo but Ill try to get a diagram from another oldtimer. Some of the early rigs with the reserve on the back were just a "belly-wart" on the back above the main container. The "pig-rig" (piggyback). " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards
