    Standard short line was 36 inches-some went a much as 48 inches-all depends upon total suspended weight and how hard you wanted to impact the ground.

    Charlie Waters (MeElfish Parachute service) 4 line release.

    The seal on the handle was probably from a "gear check" at a boogie, or a visiting jumper at that DZ. The reserve packing was still placed around the closing pin on the end of the RSL.

    Great photos from the ground! Telephoto lens or were you a little LOW?

    In 1970 Houston Parachute Service & School of Skydiving hired a high school student to re-pack all the student and staff rigs. When he wasn't busy he would pack other jumper's rigs just to earn more money. Real hard worker was he!

    Beautiful, Mike. That is exactly how I remember it from the 'Mayfair', in Taunton, Mass. back in 1968.

    I guess that would be about 80 gals. per load! 4-500 bucks a load. Does not compute. LOL But they were fun to jump out of back .in the day.

    $5.50/gallon 100 octane LL--How many gallons per load does a 3 burn?

    April 1970, #175--Most Cessna DZ'z only carried 3 jumpers in those days.

    It would be worth what ever you are willing to pay for it!

    I wonder what Ted has to say about that?

    Too many to count! JM S/L students, 3 per load, land and repeat twice more. Repack all 9 student rigs and start over.

    Sounds like Spaceland.

    Pulling the steering toggle down did not make the hole bigger! It distorted the 'hole' causing the air escaping to rotate the canopy.

    Not scary just stupid.
