should I buy a new parachute?
My Strong parachute is now 30 years old, and each time I get it
repacked I point this out to the packer, and ask if the packer has any reservations about it. So far, none has. My original parachute manual has no mention of any life limit, although I believe the Strong company now recommends 15 years. I also understand that there is no FAA limit on parachute life. The last packer said 'its like new'. Should I buy a new parachute?
