Bebel Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted February 16, 2015 Great, Ian! The parachute is the USAF back automatic parachute from the set 50c7024-9 or -10. 50C7024 is the number of this parachutes serie. Each dash number in this serie is for a dedicated version and use, both USAF and Army.

BlueBookGuy Posted March 15, 2015 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2015 hello, was wondering whether the G-3A anti-G pants could have come in more different shades of color. Those on your pilot are decidedly a nice sage green, unless it depends from different lighting? This my complete F-86E pilot from 1953. G-3A are olive drab more than a true green: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
