phantomfixer Posted July 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2020 1967 serviceable tag on a Sikorsky USN seat...has been in storage for 30 years or so...and was very happy to bring it home..I found pics of an USAF HH3 in the museum showing this seat, but having Navy data plate, I am assuming it to be from a Sea King...has the vertical adjustment and track lock adjustment...needs the inertial reel assy and the straps, which I might still have a set...inertial reel might be a midnight raid at the ISO hanger on base...they throw away the old straps every major ISO inspection...the reel with cable might be hard to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
