  1. Tokyo Skydive has a FAA Master Rigger.
  2. It looks like what they call an MJ -Military Javelin. There is also one called a SOV - Special Operations Vector.
  3. The only thing I can add on Bag Locks is not to try to stand one up.
  4. The USAF still uses them on some BA-22 bailout systems.
  5. Looking for a Juki LU-55 sewing machine manual.
  6. It was June 20, 1981, when a 4-Way team, 4-D, broke the World Record for most points in time with 17 points in 35 seconds! I believe we all bought beer! Seems like Pat has always been there. Our skydiving family has lost a wonderful member and our hearts and prayers are with all the Swovelins. Bob and Judy
  7. If you notice on Poynter's manual, Hank Asciutto also came out with the curve pin and give that to the sport. I asked Hank the question about giving away the curve pin and the diaper years ago and told me that it would benifit the sport, so why hold it back. Not the exact quote.
  8. From the Parachute Manual "Asciutto filed for a patent on his Diaper deployment device on October 10, 1974. He released his interest in it to the industry in 1981."

  10. Bob Stahl Still lives in Cal City, Retired. Still jumps. Hey Mike, when you took that picture, were you at the old skydiver home?
  11. Could be rings that you would attach a Chest Type Reserve to. Older guys know what those are.
