Found 72inch side spill parachute

[T-Rex]

A few years back I purchased an orange 72inch parachute from Aerocon Systems. This chute is unique in that it has several spill holes around the OD.
I was hoping to acquire another (or 2). Imagine my disappointment when I visited their web page and they are no longer listed.
I reached out to them via email, and got "Check ebay" as a response.
They originally were sold with a deployment bag. I do not need that deployment bag, only the chute.

Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with? (or know a retailer where I might purchase one?)

Isn't it originally for a Vietnam-era bomb?

I remember looking them up once, don't remember why now. Unique design maybe?

No idea what they were originally for, just liked it when I saw it and purchased.
That looks like the one I am looking for!! I'll place an order and see what comes in.
Thank you!!!!

I ordered the one from Charley's Surplus. Little pricey, but I think it is the one I'm looking for...

Thank you all!

These are very cool parachutes called a guide surface parachute.
