Bebel Posted October 7, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2012 BA-2xx (21, 22, or other model) back style parachute used by USAF pilots since the 60's in some aircrafts. Since new ejection seats models appeared at the end of the 60's, the back parachute was replaced by torso harness. But still in use on some old ANG fighters (F-106, F-105, ...) in the 1970/80's and B-52. If complete, a good USAF pilots collectors item. I'm searching a such one but dated from the 60's.

ffuries Posted October 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2012 As stated it's a BA-22 (IIRC), has the MD-1 bailout bottle, the CRU-60/P oxygen connector, with the D-ring handle and attachment it was most likely used in trainer (IE T-37 or T-39) aircraft. The connector on the handle is connected to the seat in the aircraft and auto-deploys the chute during man-seat seperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
