deadbug 0 #7 January 24, 2008 QuoteDH Beaver or Otter I have a bunch of time in a Beaver and I can tell you it's not a Beaver. I am also pretty sure it's not a single engine Otter but I have never flown one just admired them. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #9 January 24, 2008 Uh.. Shot and a halfs..AKA J-1's or Capewells..... and I had several rigs with Blast handles on them and had 5 cutaways with Shot and a halfs and two reserve deployments with the Blast handle rigs The 3 other reserve rides were all on Belly warts. Not realllly sure but the guy in the back looks like he has 2 shots. I have a couple rigs with them... but have never had to chop with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best thing about 2-shots was that you never had to worry about them releasing prematurely. the damn things were rusted shut by the time I started jumping in 1977!

howardwhite 6 #11 January 24, 2008 QuoteRoaring off topic! OK, back to the plane, then. Does this help? (BTW, note the location of the main handle; this may help date the picture.) HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #13 January 24, 2008 Leaving (when converting military-surplus gear) the main ripcord on the left MLW is definitely a 1960s fashion. The red and white airplane in the latest photo is a Pilatus Porter. The first piston-powered Porters were built in the late 1950s, but Turbine Porters had to wait until the early 1960s.

JerryBaumchen 1,362 #15 January 24, 2008 Hi howard, In your latest photo the guy has his reserve tie-downs hooked up to the accessory ring on the harness and not to the reserve tie-down ring on the bottom of the container. He is going to have a reserve container flopping around when he needs it, JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimp 1 #18 January 25, 2008 Ooops! Must have been that Amnesiac Double Pale Ale I was imbibing in the other night. Agreed - the shot-and-a-halfs and (anti)blast handle always worked fine for me too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #19 January 25, 2008 I still can't figure it out. The interior and exterior shots are the same plane? I feel like I'm going crazy when I compare them... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
