  1. I'm looking for a little help here. I haven't jumped in 35 years so I'm not at all familiar with modern rigs. I was wondering if it is possible (or worth) having the old 1 1/2 shot capewells replaced with whatever (?) is being used these days for emergency cutaways on my harnesses? I do recall something called a 3-ring circus came out about the time I quit. My harness/containers are custom built and are sized to fit a PC in a POD. I have used them for a sled back in the day also and am wondering if modern squares will fit? I appreciate qualified opinions. Thanks in advance for any help. You can also view my first post in the introductory section.
  2. Thanks for your reply and well wishes, Mike. Most of my past skydiving activities were associated with the Ft. Rucker Sport Patrachute Club, at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Maybe someone will remember that and respond. (Remember, I have no idea what I'm doing)
  3. This is my first forum post, EVER. That and the fact that I'm 61 years old should tell you that I have no idea what I'm doing on a computer. That said, I'll ask for forgiveness in advance if I break any rules or offend anyone. A brief history: First jump was July 22, 1972. Last jump was July 12, 1976. 500 jumps total. USPA Ratings (back then); Jumpmaster. Instructor, CSO, C-8418. SCR #3118, SCS #2680. As you can see, it's been a long time since I've jumped. I miss it, BAD! The main canopies I jumped back then( besides the "rags") were: T-Bow, MKI PC, American Papillion, Para- Sled. I still have the PC and Pap and although they are in great shape, my body is not. I have heard of groups that get together to make nostalgic jumps with round canopies and was hoping if anyone knew how to contact these folks in hopes that any of them might be interested in any or some of my gear. A phone number or e-mail would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help. Whew! That wore me out! I think I'll take a nap now!
