Current lineup:

Steve Curtis
Sara Curtis
Niklas Daniel
Ty Losey
Brandon Atwood – Camera
Amy Chmelecki – Alternate

AngelFire Reserve Approved for use in Germany

Parachute Laboratories’ AngelFire reserve was approved for use in Germany late last year (2012).

To get that approval, the canopy must undergo what is called “Musterzulassung”, which is the German TSO process. Parachute Labs have been growing the line of AngelFire Reserves since originally releasing the canopy in 1991. It is now offered in 11 sport sizes ranging from 97 square feet up to 300 square feet.
Three Tandem Reserves are available as well, in sizes 360, 400 and 500 square feet.

More information about the AngelFire reserve can be found on the company website.
