Zoso 2 #1 September 15, 2012 The description on this ebay listing says: " All I know about this Parachute is whats in the pictures, feel free to E-mail me with any questions." Maybe legit, maybe stolen... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Strato-Cloud-Strato-Cloud-Parachute-with-backup-/140849372859?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cb46debb Link fixed. Thank you Nightingale!

Nightingale 0 #3 September 15, 2012 The SN on the canopy is clearly shown in the pic. Nothing for SN 6310 in the USPA stolen gear database, or DZ.com's from what I could find. Seller is in Alaska. Does Canada have a database? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterkn 17 #4 September 15, 2012 The photo of the data panel shows a name writen on the reverse of the material. Flipping and rotating the photo shows that the writing says "Robert Johns..." Could be that the rest of the surname is Johnson or Johnstone, or it may even be one of Bob Johns old rigs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godfrog 2 #5 September 15, 2012 Hard to remember that far back with detail but Paul Cooley used to jump a stratocloud that looked like that, he moved to alaska and then later moved to washington state. He is still jumping in washington.Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krip 2 #7 September 15, 2012 Hi Zoso Stolen? I doubt it . I'M guessing no one will bid on it. IMO its not even worth the $50 for shipping. Someone could have bought a storage locker full of antiques or found it dumpster diving. Thats Ebay for youR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackwallace 3 #8 September 16, 2012 Ask the guy that's selling it, where he got it. He has a god rating. Get hold of Johns. He still jumps and goes to the Skydiving museum reunions. Should be in their data base. Looks like an old Suitcase rig or Rigger Rob rig. Might put this in the History section. Someone there can tell you what rig it is, or might want it.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 52 #9 September 16, 2012 Definitely, not a jumper selling this. What's the reserve? Obviously, the seller hasn't a clue, but that doesn't mean it is stolen. Rigs show up, out of the blue, for any number of reasons, especially when they are 30+ years old. The guys in H&T might know more..... lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #10 September 16, 2012 I don't think it's stolen. It's old enough and out-dated enough that it's not hard to imagine it ending up in the hands of a whuffo. It could have been left in an apartment/house when a renter moved out, bought at a garage sale or flea market, or bought out of an abandoned storage container auction. It has very little value at this point, and nobody (in their right mind) is going to spend $250 on that rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
