Eric,

Why don't you come by my house and I will show you some canopies
ranging from 10 to 20 years of age that I pulled out of different rigs.
Maybe then you would comprehend some of the issues related to
parachutes. But I kinda doubt it. I am tired of you attacking me and my
position on parachute issues, I did not know that you had such a vast
knowledge about parachutes without being a rigger or at least having a
few jumps behind your belt. Keep in mind that a glider broke apart in
flight near Reno and that was exactly the same type of glider that you
fly and own. So, having said that, think about what is on your back
next time you go fly. But again, I doubt it. Your confidence in your
opinions is amazing. And then again, you fly your German bird that you
paid for a big chunk of money and you have a problem buying a parachute
every 15 years? It is absolutely beyond me. I don't sell parachutes, I
don't have any interest in limiting a life of a canopy especially your
canopy. And I don't even like to pack anymore because of people like
you.
