John Combs C-9774 finally arrived ........ i have not seen this name in a long time, is he among the living?

so...long time since ive been here! I have been looking for comments from the "old" divers from the late 60s/early 70s. There are no opinions? guesses? No skydiver fits the profile? or are the skydivers scared to guess? ? or just dont know?? No comments from Mike Mullins? Mike...you must have an opinion?? Any pictures of mike in the early 70s? Who hAS PICTURES OF SKYDIVERS FROM THE LATE 60S? who has pictures of smoke jumpers from the late 60s? who has pictures of the Airborn USG guys from the same time? Anyone buliding a photo data base?

Ah.... such as the Delta Cloud, Swift reserve, and the MT-1x? Come to Oklahoma, they're all still in service, (although I havent flown the reserve,). We have several Para-Flite mains still in service as student gear. Make your own judgements. ............................. been there, jumped the DC3s at nationals, the Helio Stalion & Island air Beach 18 at paradise, The Snoopy skyvan wherever we could drink beer and take off!

im trying to put a price on a used black vector II, about 300 jumps maintained by the USMC, made in 1993. also a 1995 raven II ,218, i think it has zero jumps per the Pack card. i put $1100 on the combo with free nimbus 220 main. is this fair? or should i lower/raise the price? Havent jumped in a 2 yrs and not in tune with todays resale prices, so im inquiring here.

ouch

US - many tunnels Canada- 1 tunnel TX- next?

It is my opinion the canopy never opened.The conditions in which he jumped was very hostile.I believe he had no jump experience and that he became disoriented as soon as he exited the aircraft. The envirorment in which he would have landed is exstremely harsh terain. Most of the time travel in this area is only possible down the center of a stream.Does anyone remember the guy I think his name was kim that got stranded on a logging road in oregon with his family and tried to walk out by way of a creek and died.Well the area they found his body in was mild compared to the terain cooper would have had to negotiate.Even if he had landed he didn't have any shoes.It highly unlikely that he would have landed safely in that thick of a forrest.Hyperthermia would have been his main enemy and on the ground at night in that dense of a forest you can't even see your hand in front of your face" Believe me I know".If he had the ability to make a fire he probably would have used the parachute, dry tendor would have been hard to find .In a survival situation human nature takes over and you just want to live so if he survived the jump he probly would have tried to start a fire by using part of the parachute and some one would have spoted this fire.He probably would have made no atempt to conceal the fire.These are just a few of the reasons I have for believing the man parished that nite. If any of you could spend 5 minutes out in this area you will with out a doubt realize this guys chances for survival was none. ...................... im still not satisfied with the last sentence above. If he stayed warm, he lives. I have slept in 20-30F with only a parachute (wrapped in it). I have never slept in a "wet" parachute and will not accept death unless i know if one can survive in a wet canopy in the temps/conditions cooper was in. Why do you think the parachute didnt function? Just curious.....was it rigged/packed to fail?
