Is this one?



That's similar, but not quite what he's after, I think. The "church window" PC was almost all black, except for the rear section, which had colored segments like a stained glass church window.

And what in the heck is that guy doing wearing pink pants?!

That's the clown pattern I think. And those aren't pink pants, those are legs. Unsure what color the helmet is, though -- it's an old picture.

The best looking canopy wasn't a PC, it was a white rainbow starlite :)

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Does anyone have an in-the-air photo of a Pioneer MK I ParaCommander - specifically the "Church Window" color pattern - black with multi-color keyhole?

Thanks in advance.



I had a MK-1 with stained-glass colors in the keyhole, but that was a while ago. I have a similar one in the car, if red, white and blue colors will do in the keyhole, and you're okay with an RWPC.

If you have a camera, you're welcome to take a picture when I jump it.


Blue skies,

there one for sale on ebay.com right now. I don't know how to make the ad clicky though.

'Pioneer ParaCommander, many logbooks worth of jumps but still airworthy. Canopy is black with a multi-color "keyhole" (Church Window pattern). DOM is June '71. Includes Pioneer short sleeve and pilot chute. Pretty good condition - many jumps left on canopy. Rigger owned and maintained - always kept in A/C and dark closet. A classic canopy - an oldie but a goodie. E-mail for additional photos.'

Not at all, it was the US Papillon "Carrousel";)

Here is a picture. Sorry but after almost 40 years, the picture did fade out. On the sides on the picture, what appears like sand color was actually green apple color.

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
