Hi Guys,

 

Not sure what it is about the HGU-7/P helmets on here lately, but here is one I found a week or so ago at an antique store in the DFW area. It was pretty cheap and it came with a named bag so I couldn't say no.

 

Some photos:

Here's a shot of the inside. The spec tag is either gone or covered by the pads.

 

The mic has a piece of OD tape on it - to help against wind noise?

It's hard to read - on the photos too - but looks like it says this:

 

 

LT M J MICHAUD

AO 3081726

 

 

How hard would it be to research this pilot and see what type of a/c he flew? I'm curious about the FAC vs cargo plane use of this strange USAF "helmet" type.

 

Thanks for looking!

Derek,

Nice pick up.Ear cushions look great,have not turned to oil.Omaha's Surplus has the interior pads,do not know what condition the foam is in.

Hope all is well.
