Having spent 25 years with the California Air National Guard, Allen retired in 1991. Seventeen of those years were spent as a Survival Equipment Technician working with parachutes, life rafts and oxygen equipment. This background has been beneficial in obtaining contracts with NASA and other aerospace companies requiring services for sophisticated and specialized parachutes.
The majority of Allen's business is devoted to providing in-depth, personal parachute service to aerobatic and glider pilots worldwide.
Allen also manufactures an AcroBelt 5-Point Ratchet Restraint System, with or without a ratchet, for non-certified aircraft. Each AcroBelt is custom designed to fit your aircraft and your individual needs.
Silver Parachute Sales & Service is the largest dealer nationwide for the Softie line of pilot emergency parachutes manufactured by Para-Phernalia Inc.
Giving lectures and safety seminars to interested groups about parachutes and emergency bailout procedures is a service Allen enjoys and provides at no cost other than travel expenses.
