Judging by the keels - aft of the B lines - my guess is a prototype built by John Eiff circa 1980. ... predecessor to Eiff's Challenger Classic series of accuracy canopies and PD's current-production ZERO.

Hi captain,

Looks like a canopy made by Jim Lowe when he worked for Paragear back in the early to mid 70's.
I doubt it. I do not know about every Para-Foil that Jim & Gary Lewis built after hours at Para-Gear, but to the best of my knowledge, all of those canopies were either white/blue or red/white/blue. But, then again, they may have made something that I am not aware of.

PS) Just to ad: All of the Para-Foils that Jim & Gary built had the 'A' lines going to the front riser & the "B' and 'C' and 'D' lines all were cascaded and went to the rear riser.

Do you have any history (location or time) information? I was building canopies from about 1977 until about 1981. Close ups of the seams would tell me if it was my work or not.

Jerry,
I don't remember anything about what he made with others including Gary but the one he jumped and told me "he" made was the same color in the photos here.
