Candor1 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted May 22, 2021 Thanks RWW, any ideas of how many versions of Force Deployment back parachutes their are? I can only find references and photos the BA24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWW Posted May 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2021 There were two configurations, for the F-104 & F-106. Externally, they would look the same. The differences were things like the F-104 had the deployment gun and cable assembly mounted on the upper left side and the closing flaps and loops were modified so the pack would have a maximum thickness of 5 inches. The F-106 used a standard C-9 canopy. What exactly are you trying to figure out? If we understand what you are trying to do, some of us can likely give you better information.

Candor1 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted May 24, 2021 Thanks l was trying to identify if this parachute was correct for the F-106, and what it would need to be complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWW Posted May 28, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2021 From the pictures, it looks like you are missing a lot of things to make it complete. Some of them are fairly easy to find, others, not so much so. It doesn't look like there is a canopy in the pack, so lets start there. Canopy, pilot chute & kicker plate, ripcord assembly, ripcord channel, deployment gun, possibly an automatic survival kit activator, oxygen bottle, and backpad. The green tab with the white cord running into the channel on the riser would have gone to an AN-URT-33 emergency radio beacon. There would have also been an SRU-16/P minimum survival kit and a copy of Air Force Pamphlet 64-15, "Survival and Emergency Use of the Parachute" in a small pocket on the container and likely a hook blade knife in its orange case laced to a riser. You also need several ejector snaps & V-rings. What leads me to believe your chute would have had an automatic survival kit actuator on it is that the survival kit attachment fitting is still present on the left side of the pack and missing on the right. That fitting is part of the survival kit actuator when one is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candor1 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks so very much for your help. Your are right it’s missing a lot of parts. Supposedly it’s new still in the original box and, has never been rigged. As soon as it arrives I will get some better pictures. In the interim I will start searching for the parts you listed.
