TLeo Posted October 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2017 Just wondering if the HGU-55 flight helmets were in use while Navy squadrons were still flying the F-4 Phantoms. I don't remember when these helmets first came out for use but was thinking it might have been just before the last Phantoms were retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted October 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2017 The USAF had the 55/P at Ramstein, with Phantoms, in the early 1980's...here is website citing Navy use of the 55, stating 1990 usagehttp://www.salimbeti.com/aviation/helmets4.htm Wiki says the Navy retired the F4 in 1987 and started using the 55P in 1990 There are several helmet guys that can help narrow it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
