HW Yes, but the jumper has an obvious belly wart and the main container is open. Is this some sort of test jump? What was the purpose of the pictures for PI?Guru312 I am not DB Cooper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #3 October 16, 2010 Presumably a test jump. There were maybe a dozen postcards; I have most of them. They were on sale at the DZs. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What was the purpose of the pictures for PI? lots of "light - weights" used reserves as mains,,,so as to reduce bulk and gear weight. jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drjump 0 #5 October 22, 2010 I don't see a deployment sleeve/bag or for that matter a pilot chute. The pilot chute might be hidden from view. I doubt that this was used for a 'main' canopy on this jump. More like a test jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
