Just out of curiosity--How were the lines stowed in the packed rig?

OK--Thanks again.

Thanks for posting the link. I just got my first one in today for a repack and could not find anything on the web untill I searched DZ.com. Thanks again. Doc D-2785 Master Rigger.

I was spotting for my round reserve, just in case!

You never could spot! LOL

And, they packed small! Compared to a PC, that is.

2-pim clover leaf, chest mount times two.

Fastest opening canopy I ever jumped.

Would that be the Potter that went down in the Texas panhandle due to "clear air turbulance"?

Try cutters exchange. I got an old singer catalog from them years ago.

If you hand sew a patch on the container please make sure the container is open and empty of the canopy befor sewing!

Just don't get the iron too hot!

You are right-getting old sucks, but it does beat the alternative.

What where the "circumstances"?

Old Timers, How many sport static lines did you make?

5 s/l in April, 1968. And one s/l that summer on a military MC-1, T-10 for a water jump. -
John--Thanks for the "old farts fest" last w/e at the 'new' spaceland DZ and the party in Pearland. Not everyone is still actively jumping, but no one has forgotten how to party!

Blue Skies, Ron. A great jumper, a wonderful dedicated instructor, you will be missed. Ron migratd to Houston, from OK. in the fall of 1975 with about 25 jumps. He started jumping with the Galveston Skydiver in Hitchcock, TX. He moved over to Boatman's Spaceland DZ for the Twin Otter and large formation freefall. Several times a year he would travel the big boogie circut. helping to organiz large formation jumps. Ron is and was a true and trusted friend. I will miss him. Don Stewart D-2785

How about some of those rainy Sat. nights in Angleton? All of the oh's and ah's from your tent made a great show for the rest of us that were trying to sleep. That was some funny smelling mosquito repellent fog! Hi Steve, those were great times. The young jumpers today do not know what they missed. Don

You are right. My log shows 31 Dec 1972, two jumps out of the Metro Otter. Carl and I went back to Doc's in Dickenson untill May of 1973. when we moved back to Cleveland, C-172 and C-180 used until Aug. '73 when the DC-3 first showed up. The log reads "A whole DC-3 and only eight jumpers. I quess I need to edit some details on the last post. HA, HA, that is called a Senior Moment. The jump on 12 Aug reads-Fire Drill 4 man star with J. Mincher going through on his back. Did you get my private e-mail about the reunion?
