I used to skydive back in the late '70s and never did get rid of my
old equipment. My question is this: does anyone still jump rounds
anymore? Is there any hope I will ever be able to get rid of the
old Paracommander cluttering up my closet? Thanks.

"NO".
Actually, some DZ's use PC's on their students, so check around and see
if you can unload it as either a student rig, or to a student who wants to
buy his first rig and hasn't jumped a square yet. (Once they've jumped a
square, they probably won't jump a round again!). Don't expect to get much
for it. Another idea is to sell it to a rigger who can convert it to a
Parasail -- you know, those things they pull behind boats and stuff. I know
of at least one rigger (in Phoenix, AZ) who does that sort of thing. His name
is Floyd Washburn, and his business name is "United States Parachute Service".
Call information in Phoenix to get his phone number. Good luck. I've got one
too, but I haven't tried to sell it yet. Any takers?
