Parachute Packing in Tampa Bay Area, FL?

It's time to have my chute repacked (fortunately not from use) but
this is my first chute, so where do I send/take it to get it re-packed
and is there anything particular I should consider when having this
done? It's a Mini Softie.

I am in the St. Pete/Tampa Area of Florida.

Thanks!
Tom

I use Strong in Orlando every year. They update any service bulletins
and do a great job for $65.

I too use Strong in Orlando. Don't know if they do a great job.....YET. They are great though, very friendly, efficient, these guys are the pros and they will let you put the chute on and pull the rip cord to get a feel for the process.

Great thanks guy, and Walt. Sounds like I should just drive over
there before/after heading out to 6FL0? How far away are they?

Strong will be at the Seniors Contest, as they do every year, on the
two days before the contest, packing chutes in the hangar while you
wait. Check with them at Seminole Lake www.soarfl.com for
confirmation and details. And it's an interesting visit.

They are located at 11236 Satellite Blvd. Orlando, FL 32837. From Tampa head to Orlando on I 4. At Central Florida Parkway go East, across John Young and continue on to SOBT. Cross SOBT and take a right on Satellite Blvd. They are about half a mile down on the right. They close early on Friday most of the time.

Walt

Great, thanks for the info guys!
