rhuurrr 0 #1 November 14, 2001 Just wondering who here jumps the oldest rig, as far as DOM goes, and what it is. (attatch a picture if you like) If you know how many jumps each component has, then include that as well. I'll start off, Talon/Falcon215/SuperRaven II, DOM 1989.I haven't jumped it yet though, need to have it modified from ROL to BOC(and get a job so I can finish AFF)JackIf this has been done recently, sorry, I've been away for quite a while!!!-------------------------------http://www.oneeyedjackproductions.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicagoskydiver 0 #7 November 14, 2001 I have a vector 2 container manufactured in 1988. it's old but I had my rigger check it out and it works for a first rig. The container has about 750 jumps on it and my main has about 170 jumps on it. I also bought a used cypress.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
