How did you come across this helmet? It belonged to AW1 (at the time I served with him, he later became AWC) Kent Tiburski. We were both a part of the AW shop of VS38 stationed at NAS North Island on Coronado Island, San Diego, flying the Lockheed S3A Viking, from approximately 1985-1987. Kent passed away in 2012.
