You got an English version?

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the info. Looks like I got an original! If I jump it again I will post some pics. There should be still pics somewhere from 05 when I jumped it, see if I can dig them up. If anyone is interested in the canopy, Ill swap it for something triangular for my collection R

Just found some footage online from 1965 us army team. http://footage.framepool.com/en/shot/471066400-golden-knights-parachuting-military-parachuting-sport-parachutist My PC looks like the one in the photo attached. Same one?

Hi Jerry, Found the canopy See attached pics Maybe you can ID this canopy. It is a PC MK1 from March 1965. Canopy colours; panel 1-2-22-23-24(data panel) gold Rest black. Apex gold. Stabilizers gold I could not find any real difference between the fabric from the apex and the rest of the canopy. Is there a way of checking this? The sleeve; Sleeve says its for a PC MK2 for the US Army parachute team. (pic1) I got this canopy from England about 12 years ago. Done 1 jump with it, flies great. Does any one got maybe more info about this canopy? Cheers

Looks the same as the 1965 PC MK1 I got. Black and gold and it had Golden Knights printed on the sleeve. Need more info to know for sure.

Why not put some new 3 ring risers on the pc and put it in a modern rig? Usually a student rig or accuracy rig is big enough. Ive got about 50-60 jumps on my pc in the last 10 years. All jumps are done with a modern container with 3rings and a square reserve. :)

Thanks for that, that will get me started!

Hmm, USPA = USA What about Europe, Russia Asia etc?

Hello all, I am doing some research for a little business plan I got. Does anyone know how big skydiving is worldwide? I have been trying to get totals, but no luck so far. I would like to know the following numbers worldwide; Dropzones (1264 dz.com) Skydivers? Riggers? Manufactures? Cheers

Nothing wrong with PC's!!! One of the best things with them is the silence after a free fall. (only roundy jumpers will know this feeling) They still can be jumped safe. I had one of mine setup in a old Talon container, 3 ring setup and a x228 reserve (Yes a square:)) Had to retire the container last year So now I got 2 pc's MKI that I can't jump If any one knows any containers for sale, let me know. I'm looking for a container with plenty of live left and a 300sqft main container. These things are blody hard to find now days. GO THE OLD STUFF!!! And Maggot, thanks for the pc manual I bought of you from ebay. it has been a great help!!

I got my Australian E licence accuracy jumps with my Para-commander. Anybody else still jumping a pc's?
