1canpara Posted June 2, 2019 Just an observation but I just cant understand why some sellers cant figure out the front and back of a flight helmet and how to position it on a mannequin head....I mean really, it cant be that hard to figure out....just sayin ?

Blacksmith Posted June 5, 2019 For whatever reason, I think it is intentional for some sellers. There is one on eB@y that ALWAYS has their flight helmets backwards. Even a blind squirrel occasionally... nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
