I have no pictures but they're out there on the internet. Both GONE**
1) Kelty Redwing 3100 cubic inches. One of the most popular backpacks ever manufactured. It retails new for $100. Color is green. Used a few times as an airline carry-on. Fits overhead bin perfectly. $60 shipped
2) Kelty Lightwing 3100 cubic inches. Configured exactly like the Redwing but it's lighter, significantly stronger and has upgraded suspension. Its made from 210 Spectra Gridstop. The Lightwing was discontinued about five years ago due to the cost of manufacture and retail premium it demanded over the Redwing. Its a trekking pack but I've only used it as an airline carry-on without the hip belt. It doesn't show wear because the fabric is indestructible. Last of the mohicans. $90 shipped.
Note on spectra fabric: Ten times stronger than steel and sewn with a Kevlar combination thread. Its very difficult to sew and is so tough it will not accept dye. The fiber is always white or black/white grid woven with black nylon - as this backpack is.
