In the mid 60's my first several free falls were the "Buddy" system as well as my brother. ( 13 & 14 year olds). There were also some smaller ladies that went on freefall the same way. Usually a 10, 20, 30 second delay then turned loose on our own. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

They did a great service to our country however they were not in the military. They were civilian contractors. My vote would be no. -

If I remember correctly they pack up just like a PC or Pap. They were somewhat squirrely compared to the PC & Pap.Quote GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

How big were pea pits in the early days?

If I remember correct, 10 meter radius was the size for early accuracy. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843 -
It was the approval of the Declaration of Independence not the signing. The last signature was a considerable time later. Splitting hairs in IMHO GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843

Secret Gov't Parachute Conspiracy REVEALED . . .

"Never saw anyone with a PC main and hand deploy reserve" ------------------------------------------------------------ I did! From 1965 to 1979 I had 15 hand depolyments on PC's & PAP's. Both with and without pilot chutes on the chest mounts without any problems. A cutaway was only considered if the malfunction was not survivable as in a streamer or bag lock. GW685,D3888,C5052,SCS843
