Perhaps if the vaccination rates stay low more chips will become available for auto production!

I can't count the times I've been innumerate.

How would you describe your feelings for any administration over the past 20 years? What is happening now is exactly what Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld promised us would happen. They were adamant from day one that the US would not be sucked into a nation building project in Afghanistan, and look - we haven’t built a nation in Afghanistan! Someone break out the GWB ‘Mission Accomplished’ photo because it’s finally true.

A friend of mine died 5 years ago. He had 2 rigs that used regularly. On one he had a Stiletto 120. On the other one an Odyssey 120. They were even the same colours (mostly). These 2 canopies have quite different recovery arcs. He made a low turn. I don't recall which canopy he used on that jump, but I wonder if he was jumping the Odyssey, but expecting the recovery arc of the Stiletto. I think that is something very important to consider if you go for 2 different canopies in your rigs.

I totally agree about staying within the manufacturer recommended WL range. I’m of the opinion that people should choose equipment primarily based on reserve size - choose a reserve size you can consistently land in a back yard with a chain link fence surrounded by power lines. THEN, choose your main size and THEN choose a container that will fit them both.

Oh my — now there was a legend! Wendy P.

Hi Ken, I would say, 'No.' The Vector has the reserve top flap going around & under the reserve internal flap. Whereas, the Icon ( and many other rigs ) has the reserve top flap 'tucked' into the bottom reserve flap. IMO each has a distinct design to 'hold' the reserve top flap. Jerry Baumchen
