Description: Paraglider at Cochrane Hill, AB, Canada. An APCO Starlite 26 canopy, being flown by Glen for a photo op of the photographer's rig at the Muller Windsports site above W:Cochrane, Alberta. Strictly an ascending parachute (not a term used by the paragliding community), it is conceptually more like today's ram-air sport parachutes (i.e. descending parachutes) than any mid-1970s-and-earlier sport parachuting devices, or even modern 'round' canopies designed for say, the aerospace industry.
