Gents, Thanks for all the info. My fallback plan is to remove the canopy and give it to a retired army jump master friend of mine. He was psyched to put it up in his man cave to aggravate his wife. I will stuff the rig with newspaper and be DB Cooper next halloween. Be safe friends!

Thanks again!!

Thanks for your perspective on this chute. Would it be legal for aerobatic planes sine it is only legal for emergency use? Any idea what it would be worth?

I have a Military NB8 parachute (in service 1986). It is a backpack type typically used for crew members on larger U.S. military planes. It appears to be in excellent condition and doesn't look like it was ever used. Probably repacked and inspected regularly while it was in service. I am curious as to the value and market for such a parachute. Are there jumpers particularly interested in collecting or jumping with military chutes? Thanks!
