SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 March 19, 2003 I am absolutely sure I have the issue and every other one for the past 22 years, but damned if I am gonna dig in my attic for it. Arvel, what are you going to do with it? You may be better off writing or calling jumpshack and seeing if they have the ad in some sort of poster form. later!

BlueSBDeath 2 #3 March 19, 2003 Bro!!!!!! Great to hear from you!!!! I just want a copy, you know, I'm an old Racer man and want to scan it for old times sake. I did contact Jumpshack, talked to John Sherman who told me they don't retain all that old stuff. He put me in touch with some other folks there and the same response. I just may have one redone by a friend. Anyway, congrats on the Retirement!!!!!

Tonto 1 #4 March 25, 2003 Hey. I recall the ad. It was a black and white, right? Or was it a rip off? I thought it may have been a base at the time... 600ft springs to mind. Good luck finding it! t It's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #5 April 17, 2003 Quote I am looking for an old issue of Parachutist with a Racer ad that read "The Last Thing You Need at Two Grand is Pretty Gear" A small copy is attached here for thread readers. I'll send a full size high-resolution copy to your e-mail address for your own keeping. I'm not interested in selling the magazine, however... This copy came from Feb. 1979 issue of "Parachutist". 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #6 April 17, 2003 The same picture (minus the ad copy) appears in Poynter and Turoff's "The Skydiver's Handbook" in the section about pull-out pilot chutes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
