| URGENT SPSB007 (Sep 26th 2012) | |
| We have been made aware of some incidents of premature reserve activation with the use of the older style flat soft pad handles with plastic inserts. If the plastic has permanently shifted during service life or the foam degrades, it can allow for the ball/shank to become lodged/caught which can contribute towards extraction of the pin prematurely if the rig is incorrectly fitted (person too large for the H/C), the incorrect reserve ripcord yoke size is installed in the H/C (Example: B yoke ripcord assembly installed in a C or D yoke H/C), or inadvertently while crouched tightly in an aircraft. | |

| Sun Path staff participates in event for wounded heroes (Apr 18th 2010) | |
| Deland FL April 17-18 2010: Most of the staff of Sun Path Products Inc. left Raeford NC on April 15th headed for Deland FL to take part in an event that honors America’s wounded heroes with a weekend of golf, skydiving and relaxation. Complete Parachute Solutions also known as CPS hosted the Defending Freedom Wounded Warrior Weekend for the 4th year in a row. Members of the Wounded Warrior Project traveled to Deland to take part in the two day event, some making their first of what could end up being hundreds of skydives. The Wounded Warrior Project is a rehabilitative program that provides job training and assistance in adjusting to civilian life to service men and women wounded in the Global War on Terrorism. Several companies including Skydive Deland and Sun Path Products Inc. provided the aircraft, tandem jumpmasters and freefall camera flyers as part of their support of the event. After the day of tandem skydiving all 35 Wounded Warriors along with over 100 golfers played in a best ball golf tournament held at Pelican Bay Country Club in Daytona. The entire weekend gives some of our nation’s finest men and women a chance to relax and see how much they are appreciated by the skydiving community Along with Sun Path Products United Parachute Technologies, Performance Designs and Alti-2 are some of the major contributors to the event. Sun Path president Patricia Thomas said, “These men and women are simply amazing and we will always be willing to support such an event!” To find out how you can get involved go to www.woundedwarrriorproject.org | |

| Sun Path President Patricia Thomas honored by Army’s top parachutists (Jan 4th 2010) | |
| In keeping with her long standing tradition of hard work and dedication to sport and military parachutists; The United States Army Parachute Team has given Sun Path Products President Patricia Thomas the title of "Honorary Golden Knight" The title “Honorary Golden Knight” is bestowed bi-annually by The United States Army Parachute Team, “The Golden Knights”, the Army’s premier recruiting and public relations unit. People who have contributed tremendous amounts of time and effort to support the Team and its activities are those who can be nominated. The team votes on these nominations by secret ballot and those who are chosen to become honorary Golden Knights are “knighted” during a ceremony at the team’s bi-annual reunion held in Fayetteville NC. When asked about her selection as one of the 2009 honorary Golden Knights she blushed and said, “I was surprised to be nominated and now I am honored to have been selected.” After recalling her first meeting with the team at the World Parachuting Championships in 1989 she then recounted the many strong friendships that have grown throughout the years including the many team members who have worked for her after their time in the Army. Ms. Thomas is the president of Sun Path Products Inc. and we are all proud to have one of our own recognized for her hard work and dedication to the parachuting world. | |
