1961 F101 parachute
« on: December 19, 2020, 02:20:35 PM »
New in original box. Given to me in 1975. Was going to use as a Bonneville canopy like old days. It?s a ribbon chute. Free to good home. Prefer local pick up in SoCal
as I will probably charge 1 to 2k$ in shipping and handling.
 Will send photo of box to any email. Site here says photo on my phone camera it too big.

Box has 1961 date so it may not be a 36? diameter... it appears to be much larger. JD
