howardwhite 6 #9 December 10, 2010 Parachutist August 1968. QuoteTed Strong made several respectable accuracy demonstrations with the first "wing type" canopy (a 19 foot Lk Rogallo wing built at Strong's Massachusetts loft) ever used by a competitor in national accuracy competition. It was in Marana, AZ. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackwallace 3 #10 December 10, 2010 I thought it looked like Marana. And is that Lowell Bachman in the tight shorts?U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

SCR216 2 #11 December 10, 2010 As I remember, Lowell was bigger than the judge in the picture in the white shorts. The judge in the shorts looks more like Ray Heald to me, and the judge next to him with the black baseball cap looks like Art Armstrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
