upndownshop 0 #1 October 29, 2007 What City, State and?? Does anyone know the complete strory behind it? The second photo is from a building located on sabre st. Your real good if you can name the building. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upndownshop 0 #2 October 29, 2007 Not even a guess yet? Ok scratched the lousy hint.... Thanks Jim.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 6 #3 October 29, 2007 Quote Not even a guess yet? Hint: the street was named after PD's canopy, its not just some random street in the US. You sure the intersection isn't named after a couple fighter planes? ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upndownshop 0 #4 October 29, 2007 Ok now I may have to shoot someone... That was my first thought. I have been mistaken before.... But still, its a historical intersection in skydiving. I was told many years ago that Sabre St. was named after the canopy. But, now I must consider the source. It would make more sense to be a jet, wouldnt it? So you obviously know where it is (epecially with my other post's). So, off to strangle someone....................... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #5 October 29, 2007 Well, I found it, but I still don't know what the story is. I've taken a lot of pictures in front of a sign really similar to the second picture you posted, so I'm pretty curious. Edit: I see that the first 36-way and first 100-way were held nearby...

Proabably just about straight up...... You guys still have those stickers or patches? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #8 October 29, 2007 I've seen a little pin lying around with that logo... but no patches except on old peoples' jumpsuits. I never got the story behind the logo. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rapter 0 #9 October 29, 2007 QuoteHi Dave, Sounds like it might be at Edwards AFB. Hi Bill, Nope, not Edwards. Most of the roads are named after dead test pilots. except for Yeager bulv. He was just here couple of weeks ago and he looked very much alive. Both names are two of North American Aviation finest planes.

JohnRich 4 #22 October 30, 2007 QuoteIt's Muskogee, OK. MapQuest All the street names there are named after military aircraft - I don't think "Sabre" is about the parachute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upndownshop 0 #23 October 30, 2007 Its not about the canopy. I gots bad data, but we still dont have the buildong named? Someone has to remember it. Here's the inside of it, as it is now. The Airport will have it ready for us by June according to them. Yeeee Haaaaw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

upndownshop 0 #25 October 31, 2007 QuoteWould this happen to be at that airport in Oklahoma you are visting? Why is there a CPI logo there? Yes Muskogee Ok. The CPi sticker was left on the window of the building on Sabre street. It has been there at least 15 years ago, my guess is probably many more. This building was a the "hangout" for the jumpers after competitions. Cant beleive no one has named it yet. It is the only sticker I saw on the building, they even opened it up for me when I was there iin July. Pretty cool being the fisrt jumper to walk back in there after 15 years.
