VaderS 0 #1 December 4, 2017 Trying to figure out what to do with this stuff? Two have bags marked T7. Also a pilot chute, and an l-o-n-g deployment bag. https://i.imgur.com/Lu60wcRh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nDfjQjAh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Cq1XjWnh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YLjB3WXh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Uulsvivh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TSJMIsGh.jpg What is the best way to post pictures? I tried the Upload Attachment button with no luck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #2 December 5, 2017 For uploading one has to click the Browse button first to find the file on one's computer, then do Upload attachment. Have to do it one by one on this site. Some interesting stuff there. I"m not familiar with them all but just to tally up the pics: - a 1943 24' Switlik sewn canopy (bailout or belly reserve) - camo paratroop parachute from '51 by Fashion Frocks [It's amusing to see the military stuff sewn by ladies' wear companies] - some white canopy with double L mods and a few slots too (which will be one of the others seen in closeup) - something white from '57 - some white Navy backpack canopy from '51 Some interesting old odds and ends. I guess people go to eBay these days, but letting skydivers have a crack at it first sounds good too. The super long deployment bag, if it is like 15 ft long, that would likely be a sleeve for say a 60's ParaCommander or similar. (I've never jumped any canopy older than 1957, a 26' Navy.... but a 24' flat or whatever is a bit on the scary side.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob_Church 7 #4 December 24, 2017 Do you think this stuff might be old enough for museums, or was there just too much of the stuff still around in basements and old hangars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
