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.

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.
