north american aerodynamics 252...........

That was a Howard Jobmaster that Jack Ady jumped from.Pop

Howard, I will be there too.If I'm still alive ! POPQuote

If the lines are not tangled and slider is to stops it will open fine. I have a Sabre 190 and I turn the folded canopy 180 then roll it bag it then turn back 180 and stow the lines.works fine for me.POP

Fall stable until forward speed stops(5-8sec) sit up pull and no more pc hesitations!!!!! POP D47***

Howard,I receive Airshow Mag through the local airport and read the BATMAN article.There were some BS and incorrect dates in it for sure.I knew Red Grant and jumped with him at the 1958 Miami air races.He really could fly his wings quite well. I know Steve and Charlie made the first baton pass in the USA and I made the first in Floida 3/21/59 with Dick Shuford D-100 and first Double pass on 6/8/59 with Dick Shuford and Bill Elfers D-28.All from 7000'. There may have been some one else who beat us at it,who knows...........POP

C-9's came in orange and white also in 4 colors (later years).T-10 is 30'at the skirt with 30 gores and 35'dia midway.It is called parabolic in design. Pop

Pat,Skeet white was indeed related to Gov maddux and worked on the campain for his election.I have'nt seen nor heard from him since. Enjoyed the pic's. Pop

DC5? POP

Hey Pat,Good to hear you are still with us.I remember you well,your back flips were real entertaining and you were a great competitor. I have been out of the DZO stuff since 84 but am active as a paying jumper ever since then.Got 3 in this weekend at 75 years young. Blue Sky,Pop D47

It was used at the 1964 nationals in Alta,Ut.It was hot and the DZ was 5000'above SL(I was busting my ass landing with my 28'7/TU LoPo) but fell in love with that GIANT CUB.It was a super jump ship for the day.Jack beat me out for 1st in style and is a super sportsman and competitor. POP

Military light cargo parachute made of rayon in different colors model G-13.Thousands were used during the Korean war. POP

Yes,Steve Snyder had a mule for a while at Ripcord in N.J.which I flew and jumped a few times.Another one of Dave Steves great jump ships.Big doors,roomy cabin,fast climbers. Pop

Looks like one of Dave Steves Fairchild 71's with a P&W 1340 600HP.Fast climber,great jump plane.Out west some where?? Pop

Long time Skydiver Don Dupont passed away 3/28/08 of natural causes at 76yrs.old.Don was the owner of Woodstock,ct.DZ through the 70's.He started jumping in the early 60's at Taunton,Mas. Don was one of the few jump pilots that servived a bail out from a damaged C-182 jump plane. Clear sky Don.............Pop

Well Jerry,Guess I'm a wienie then...In 1955 I got tierd of getting the shit knocked out of me from thoughs loose pack openings (no sleeves here yet) and I remembered how the Army cured the problem by packing the canopy in a static lined d/bag so I made a bag and attached a pilot chute to it and the rest is history.Bet you have one on your square too!!!Pop

I used RWPC's on students 1978/82 and still have a red w/white keyhole one that I jump 3 or 4 times a year.Standing landings most of the time.They are lighter and pack smaller than the other PC's but the MK1 short lined 36" was the best performer.............Pop

Use a Dbag and put it in the way the Army does T-10's.Less opening shock and no retainer line.Tied direct to the crown lines.I have 5000 jumps on PC's like that.POP

Howard,We were already using 7TU's in 1962.I don't remember any LOPO double gores w/a single gore seperation however I did cut one like it in a 28'C8 and it was a KILLER!!! Pop

#2 Lew sanborn & Charlie Hillard 1958 #5 Lew and Jacques Estel Czechoslovakia 1958........PopQuote

Looks a little like a modified A20 or A26 but is probably not.....PopQuote

RIGHT ON!!!! And that is the way it all started...PopQuote

I give you an A+ for that one!!!!! Pop

The 2nd.pic (blue,white)is a Pilatus PC-6 or piston Porter.Don't know what the hell pic 1 is. Pop
