Looks like a fabric kicker plate for a spring loaded pilot chute, -----or----- evidence of alien spacraft landing in the desert Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

Niagara Parchutes Cobra was Eddies version of a PSO6 Well it opened firmly, (the one I owned for a few years anyway), it was reliable and landed quite soft. Some of them did indeed open harder, but hell the guys keep jumping them so couldn't have been all that bad. Never saw a LOPO reserve with 4 line from them, mine was a Baby Cobra with three meshed in slots. Standup landing both times I used it. I also owned an Niagara Parachutes version of the Strato Cloud. Again, fine canopy with absolutly no problems. I think he also did a 5 cell Strato Star version as well. The attached is me on the white, Perry Grimm on the red & blue, and Nick fall on the blue and white. Mine and Perry's are Niagara, and I think Nick's 5 cell is as well. All of Eddies gear was well built, and I for one always got very good service from them. Eddie and Ann were great people and very proud and dedicated to what they did. I know this from first hand experiance. I knew them both well and hung out with thier son Perry quite a bit.I was on the load with Edie and Ann when Ann went in and it was one of the saddest days of my life.

I owned a couple of Niagara rigs back in the 70s Probably more then half the DZ had gear from them as we were all pretty good mates with the Grims. Eddie and Ann were very frequent visitors to Coldwater and Perry was a permanent resident. Anyway, I don't recall seeing any with chest straps like that. But then again there's a lot of the 70s I don't remember Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

Was that Kathy Cox? Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

The X is the slider, sometimes called a spider slider. Sometimes these were reefed to the pilot chute Thats just the bag on top not a freebag. No idea who made the canopy but it sure is ugly On a second look, I think that is the top of the pilot chute showing not the bag. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

What others have said - Tables Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

well it looks like it's been conmverted to a turbo, so probaly had a complete overhaul of the airframe as well. Maybee this makes it a "new" aircraft? Change of ownership dosn't require a new number does it? Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

I get every penny's worth that I paid for. Unlike DZ.com which is much better value Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

I don't see anyone else posting this so Jim Cox, one of the fixtures in the Aussie world of skydiving, passed away last Sunday March 22. He will be missed by all those who crossed his path, a genuine character, well liked and always able to put a smile on your face.

Hey the picture, center bottom, in the back geared up!!! Isn't that Duanne Webber of the DB Cooper thread???? Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

My first guess was a canopy inverting on opening. But the deliberate collapse sounds interesting Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

We had a tsunami warning in effect for a few hours as a result of that. My house is a bout 30mtrs above the harbour here but I work at sea level!!! Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

In what scenario does it make sense to have different laws in different states?? Different license for different states as this feed cash streams to the local authorities I will go along with. But laws????? Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI

My first rig was a niagara parachutes set I bought from my father after me broke both his ankles going down wind into the pit at Port Severn. The next year we moved to Coldwater, I think it was 75. When I bought my next set a gear from Eddie at Niagara I sold my 3pin container and the Cobra main in it to Frank Arko to use as student gear. You probably jumped it!! White front, red sides and multi coloured back. I don't have any pictures of it. My brother managed to lose all my photos of Coldwater. I had quite a good collection up to 1980 when I took off for Aussie. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
