This guy has 69 episodes of "Ripcord" on DVDs for a decent price . . .

I bought the set. I had always heard about the series but had never seen any of the episodes. I was too young when the series was running and no one I knew ever had any around.

A good deal as far as I'm concerned. The series is really quite good. The story lines are decent, and there are no more goofy things in them than in modern movies I've seen that included skydiving.

What I think is neat about the series is that it shows skydiving being used for adventure, and for doing good, not just as a yee-haw sport.

I concur with Gary...well worth the money. Quality on some leaves a lot to be desired, but considered that all the original masters were lost we are lucky to have these copies.

Here is the basic story line in the 10 episodes I have watched so far:

Skydivers are good guys and wear white. Skydivers ike to fight. Skydivers always win. Skydivers always get the girls.

;)


Blue skies,

Jim
