You can "Right Click" on the picture and "Save Picture as.." (to your Desktop, My Pictures, etc.)

Or, click on the picture which will take you to the big one on the web page and follow the same procedure (right click, save picture as).

Sorry, if you already knew this... you asked for easy.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Thanks for the help. I,ll have a great C-175 shot OK. The C9A though was the old 28ft alternating orange and white gore parachute. Thats the trouble with military designations meaning so many things. It was the first parachute I ever jumped.That was in the day if you got 3 jumps in a whole day it was a miracle and painful.Taking 3 up in a C-182 was tops and crowded.Thanks again sorry for my none specific designation.

Ya know, I kinda wondered about that. I didn't know if C9A meant parachute or A/C and didn't know of a C9A parachute, but when you spoke of 5 or 7TU, those I did know and when I saw the picture gallary of C9A aircraft - was kinda scratchin my head doin the math.

Forty years is quite a feat and I wish you the best of times on your anniversary.

Hi Les

Next yr will be our 40th anniv of our first jump (on a double L). The canopy had a few more color's than the pic shows and we jumped from a C-195 (no door)

We thought making a jump on our 40th Anniv would be a nice milestone In case anyone is wondering no way is this fat old fart going to try and land any kind of a round under any weather conditions unless the earth is covered in pea gravel.

R.I.P.

Here's the same picture, bigger, a little cleaner, facing the other direction as in the original. It was taken at Orange (MA) SPC in 1966 or 1967. This was then the standard canopy for all but the heaviest S/L students, who were put out, if memory serves, on T-10s.

Thanks again I like this one better but he other was good to. I only made 150 on rags 120 on Delta 11's 1500 on PC's. The rest on aquares minus 60 something round reserve jumps and 20 square reserve jumps mostly Tandem s. Ah yes the good old ropes and rings before sliders and bag with out OSI's Thaks for the help

I have a lot of C9 jumps, but mine was solid white. I had a pull down centerline (borrowed the idea from Dan Steiger) and 7TU in it and it flew well for what it was. Burned it up with a lineover one day and moved to a Strato Star.

You don't get canopies for those prices anymore

I believe the solid white ones were C8 The differance was in which service the canopy was made for.
I think the orange and white was to be easier for rescue crews to see at sea if a pilot ejected.
Structuraly the same canopy though.

Maybe, it was a long time ago... but I'm pretty sure both my canopies had US NAVY stamped on the info panel (reserve was Navy Conical). I wouldn't have cared what service they came from though, I wanted the all white canopy.
