917601 Posted November 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2020 I was able to find a reserve parachute ( chute missing, cut off) for my 82nd Paratrooper full display. I had found an uncut 1970s MC1 a few years ago, now complete. Hung up for display for our Veterans Day celebration. Not very happy with the canopy deployment as the PVC drooped, but a very large undertaking. 30ft x 75 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
917601 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted November 7, 2020 The vintage reserve bag with all parts was made whole by stuffing with packing. Omaha Surplus in Ft Worth sells them, about $40 shipped, if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
