Does anyone have an in-the-air photo of a Pioneer MK I ParaCommander - specifically the "Church Window" color pattern - black with multi-color keyhole?

Thanks in advance.

I once owned one, but alas, no pictures remain. I think most people would agree, that it was the best looking PC ever.

That's similar, but not quite what he's after, I think. The "church window" PC was almost all black, except for the rear section, which had colored segments like a stained glass church window.

And what in the heck is that guy doing wearing pink pants?!

Are you sure it is a guy. They are also wearing a pink helmet.

Sparky

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

That's the clown pattern I think. And those aren't pink pants, those are legs. Unsure what color the helmet is, though -- it's an old picture.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Not the best pic, but the only one I could find...

I had a MK-1 with stained-glass colors in the keyhole, but that was a while ago. I have a similar one in the car, if red, white and blue colors will do in the keyhole, and you're okay with an RWPC.

If you have a camera, you're welcome to take a picture when I jump it.

there one for sale on ebay.com right now. I don't know how to make the ad clicky though.

'Pioneer ParaCommander, many logbooks worth of jumps but still airworthy. Canopy is black with a multi-color "keyhole" (Church Window pattern). DOM is June '71. Includes Pioneer short sleeve and pilot chute. Pretty good condition - many jumps left on canopy. Rigger owned and maintained - always kept in A/C and dark closet. A classic canopy - an oldie but a goodie. E-mail for additional photos.'

Here's one...

Not at all, it was the US Papillon "Carrousel"

Here is a picture. Sorry but after almost 40 years, the picture did fade out. On the sides on the picture, what appears like sand color was actually green apple color.
