Nkumburis Posted August 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2019 All, I hope your weekend went well. I just picked up this MB-3 flight helmet but the odd thing it is black. I know most are white so that is what made this one particularly interesting. I hope yall enjoy seeing this rare bird and can provide more information!

72psb Posted August 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2019 I am not sure,but is it an early HALO parachutist helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkumburis Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 12, 2019 From the little information I could find, I was thinking the same thing but besides that I have no idea. - Nick K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerdogi Posted August 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2019 Just a thought... maybe theres a connection between Arclight SAC missions and having the helmet black. They did have to repaint the B-52s underneath black for night camo. Maybe crews liked to distinguish themselves from other SAC crews?.... sounds pretty cool.
