Breezin Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 If some collectors are interested quite a few new Jalbert para foils came up on flea bay.Seem like some nice prices for a bit of history. Domina C.Jalbert invented the para foil in 1957. Anyone reading this has probably flown some kind of para foil. He built a massive one and flew it in Seattle in 1980.3640 sq feet, 300 lbs with a 10,500 lb lift capacity 😲. Had no idea who he was till today. Lived to be 87. The listed age range on a lot of his kites says 3 to 99. Guy must of had a great attitude cause that's just cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
