In the mid 60's my first several free falls were the "Buddy" system as well as my brother. ( 13 & 14 year olds). There were also some smaller ladies that went on freefall the same way. Usually a 10, 20, 30 second delay then turned loose on our own. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

They did a great service to our country however they were not in the military. They were civilian contractors. My vote would be no.

If I remember correctly they pack up just like a PC or Pap. They were somewhat squirrely compared to the PC & Pap.Quote GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

There is hope for the next generation GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

NO, I don't think he is welcome in the White House anymore! GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

If I remember correct, 10 meter radius was the size for early accuracy. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

It was the approval of the Declaration of Independence not the signing. The last signature was a considerable time later. Splitting hairs in IMHO GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

This is Treason! Disclosing such important government secrets involving national security. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

"Never saw anyone with a PC main and hand deploy reserve" ------------------------------------------------------------ I did! From 1965 to 1979 I had 15 hand depolyments on PC's & PAP's. Both with and without pilot chutes on the chest mounts without any problems. A cutaway was only considered if the malfunction was not survivable as in a streamer or bag lock.

Yes, there was a club there in the 60's. Just south of Columbus. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

Well the harness looks like a standard B-12 with ring shots (1 1/2 shots). Can't help on the container. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

After a second look, you and David are correct. I can make ot the Brown and Olive Drab together. Must be color bblind in my older years.

It's a 5-TU but not a C-9 (28ft) it's a 32 ft T-10. Not your usual Olive drab. The C-9 was 4 colored, this looks like only 3 colors. Also count the gores. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

Castro was able to pull it off and so will I. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

He may have. Earmarks are requested in a legilative bill which is sponsered by a congressman. The Governor may have accepted earmarks but could not have requested them. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

I believe earmarks are requested by legislators, not Governors. The "FACT" is , only one of the 3 congressmen in this race, has never requested any earmarks. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

After 54 rambling replies to your original question I still can't find where anyone has answered it. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

Maybe seperating imports into European or Japanese may result in a slightly different poll. Over the past 40 years I've owned German , English, Japanese , and US. Japanese were OK but never came close to the almost 300,00 miles I was able to get on 3 US land yachts. ( They were all still running when I gave them away) European.......nothing but trouble!

The 7 comes from the number of cells cut between the main drive panels. The panels on the outside of the drive panels are turn windows. Neither the drive panels nor the turn windows are counted. The Total number of panels cut on a 7TU are 11. Seven center, two drive and two turn windows. The toggles were attached between the drive window and turn window. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

That is correct. Like others, I get nothing. Instead of bitching about it, people should be thankful they are so affluent. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843
