lekstrom10k 0 #2 October 5, 2011 There were a couple of other posts about the hard cover 150 jump books. I had one at Rantual at breakfast time Lew Sanborn came over to where I was sitting and said it was nice to see them still being used. He also told me it was his design from long ago . I have used them from my first jump in 1967. Of the 87 log books I have all but three are the blue hard cover. He then signed a few jumps for. Then he and I were the only ones to stand be quite for our national anthem. As far as the 500 jump books a friend once told me if you loose it 500 gone forever. 150 is all you can loose the other way. Still doing it that way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danchapman 0 #3 October 14, 2011 Thanks for the post, don't know how I could keep track of all those log books you have. I've managed to keep mine bundled with my rigger's logbook and a few for flying hang gliders and ultralights, thru a couple of dozen moves and a couple of marriages.
