Not sure where this belongs, but it is a Sport!!

I made a Blast (Jump) 10/25/14 on my Vintage 1969 era Mk I Para Commander!!

It was uneventful, with the exception that I landed closer to the intended Target Area than the HP Canopies and I openened WAY farther out (1.5 mi prox)!!!

All in all, I'm going to Jump it some more!!

I suspect that a major problem these days is finding a rigger who is certified for "chest" to repack your reserve.:p
Umm, when I'm in Dallas / Fort Worth I'll bring my rigger kit and make some money.:D

My "Rigger"..................I met before I was out of the Army in '72!! I jumped with him and several others that were @ the Reunion back then and ended up working for him after I was out of the Army. He's the reason that I got back into the Sport!! Don Stewart, in Stephenville, Texas. I was also one of the "Original Spaceland Jumpers",,,,,,A-3206, C-8136, SCR-5968 & SCS-2855.

When I get the rest of the pics together, I'll post them.
