Navigator 290-210: Jumps 1-15: AFF and early student.
Spectre 190 : Jumps 15-26
Sabre 170: Jumps 27-200
Sabre2 150: Jumps 201-280
Sabre2 135: Jumps 281-current

Have experience on Samurai 170/150/136, Katana 135 and Crossfire 2 129 mixed in there. Want to fly a more eliptical canopy than the Sabre2 but want a reliably opening canopy for wingsuit. Love the Crossfire, Sabre2 has served me very well so far.
