1984

Anyone know what company made the Fury 7 cell main back in '84? I used to jump one but can't remember.

Flight Concepts, I believe.

Would have been Glide Path at the time.

Flight Concepts hadn't been invented yet as the successor to Glide Path. That didn't happen until years later. ('94??)

Glide Path, owned by Mike Fury, formerly Dejango. He had to close down Dejango because he infringed on Steve Snyders direct line attachment patent. He took the 7 cell Dejango Pegasus canopy and added small flares for the suspension line attachment points and changed the name of the company to Glide Path, and the Fury was born.

Wow, a blast from the past. I remember Vskydiver had one of his main canopies with the little flares on the bottom. Seemed to do okay.

I asked Red at Flight Concepts. He told me it was Glide Path
Thanks
