Does Rocket Man actually manufacture his own stuff or is farmed out? I'm just curious is all.

Quite a while ago I remember reading that his wife builds them, but that may be my poor memory. How it is done now I don't know.

Less than two years ago she was still making them.When I ordered an R19 she called me to ask what color combo I wanted since they were low on ripstop and was ordering new stock.

Rocketman Enterprise is own by my wife Jodi and I. We have a 4000 square ft. manufacturing faculty in Bloomington, Minnesota, where we manufacture all of the Rocketman parachutes along with a number of other products. I started Rocketman Enterprise in 1969 to design and build stunt equipment for the film industry.

In 1995 we added recovery systems for high power rockets to our product line. Our business has now grown to where we manufacture parachutes for N.A.S.A. and a number of other aerospace companies.

Thank you for the post Mr. Rocketman, I'm just happy to see then that they are made in the USA and not farmed out to the far East. I like your BSA drag bike too! I'm a member of the Ohio Valley BSA Owners Association and own (& ride) a 69 650 lightning.
