  2. I have all of them going back to 1965. btw, we jumped in some "not so ideal" wind conditions back then. BCA
  3. Get ahold of an old Parachutist and check the accuracy results from the nationals back in the late sixty's. I think you'll find that the old rounds were very accurate in the hands of the right people. BCA
  4. If you were ever on one of Charlie Merritts cessna loads while he not only flew the airplane but also jumpmastered a static line student.
  5. Wayne Wahlenmeier (C3363) died in his sleep last night. He was 63 yrs old. Wayne started jumping back in the early 60's at the Citidal. We had many good times and great jumps together during the 70's back at Coolidge and Casa Grande. Rest in peace my old friend, I will miss you. Allen
  6. mid 60's $2.50 to 2,500ft. $4.50 to 7,500ft. we rarely went higher than 7,500 in those days since we were already a mile above sea level. BCA
  7. Need help. Looking for an old main container that will accomodate a PC in a sleeve. Preferably a Pioneer 3 pin or a Security short bow in sage green. I have everything else i.e. harness, front mount reserve, canopies, etc. If you can help, please respond by post or pm. Thanks. BCA
  8. Do you by any chance remember the jacket that jeannie wore back in the late sixties? The back of it said "jeannie McCombs, a real lady skydiver you crumby bastard" It was so jeannie. BCA
  9. We called them "bunny bonnets". btw, Tony showed up at the MOAB boogie this last year. BCA

  14. As I recall, the first PC's hit the market in 1964. BCA
  15. Hop and Pop = Clear and Pull = Jump and Dump It's kinda self explanatory. BCA

  17. I'm not sure, but one of the Knights looks like it may be Billy Lockward. BCA
  18. Hi Beatnik, I do believe I still have a manual for the Delta ll. It wasn't with the ParaSled manual that I sent you, so I'll have to dig deeper. I'll let you know if I find it. BCA
  19. elias123, See the picture attachments to my previous post titled "Old Gear". BCA
  20. I thought some of you might enjoy seeing these old posters. Note that everyone in the 8 way from poster #2 is wearing gutter gear. BCA
  21. lekstrom10k, Most of your observations are correct, but the reserve in Picture #1 was made by "No. Am. Aerodynamics" and it has a Security 26' LoPo with the pilot chute installed not a 24'. BCA
  22. They still have sentimental value.
  23. The sage green harness is a "Greenstar" style harness. I never had a problem with the quick ejectors. Probably just lucky. BCA
