Martin,, please land on the NORTH side of the river. We do not want to read about an international incident involving American Special Forces Mercenary VFOG's invading Mexico while liberating a truck load of Dos Equis Gold.. Stay Safe.. |

I still jump. The best thing you can do is donate that rig to the museum. It is way too old to use. Time to get a new one so you will come back to earth nice and soft. Good luck. SF_BHT |
Still jumping ...
Yeah, there are several of us OFC that still jump, but I'm not sure I'd want these 57 year old knees landing under a PC, or even my Delta II Parawing that's still in the garage.

I think I have my old Papillion lying around somewhere, along with a 23' Tricon reserve.
I do not think I want to experiment with the tensile strength of 30+ year old nylon. Blue skies, hermano. TR |

I got a 7 cell Flight Concepts 265 sqft Main and a Para-Flite Swift Plus 225 sqft Reserve this past weekend. They're in a Talon 2 Rig with a Cypres that's good for 18 months. The main supposidly only has 50 Jumps on it and the Reserve has never been used. Got the whole rig for $1500!!!

For me, jumping is now a spectator sport. |

For me, jumping is also a "spectator sport" - save for an occasional dream! :D |

Congrats! Big rig for your size. Should be nice, soft landings. Enjoy and be careful. TR |
