frank2far Posted December 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2019 What type of seat parachute and harness would a naval aviator use in 1953? I want to find one for my cockpit seat from a AD-4 Skyraider. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted December 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2019 hello, I'll post tomorrow some pics of a seat 'chute I was told years ago it was USN and was used by pilots of piston-engined planes in about 1948-51. Do not know whether or not is the correct thing, if someone does have confirmed infos please let me know - I still have it but it's useless to me... complete and in great shape, but my collection is by now finished (project was about making a USN pilot in Korea, however priority at the time was for other different mannequinns). To next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted December 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2019 hello, here some pics. Do not know more infos, seller told me it's the typology of 'chute being in use by Navy pilots of piston-engined airplanes of very late '40s - very early '50s. Nomenclature unknown as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebel Posted December 24, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 24, 2019 The BlueBookGuy's parachute was used in USAF aircraft. After the ww2, the QFS (Quick Fit Seat type) replaced the QAC set. Then, in 1948, it was redesignated NS-2 and in about the middle of the 50s, it was still redesignated NS-3. Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
