New helmet: interesting SPH-4b

[QuNoobJunior]

Hello everyone!

 

I recently got myself my first SPH-4b,

it has some very unique decals and other hardware which I have´nt seen on any SPH-4b before.

Overall it is in good but used condition and my favorite helmet I own so far.

I would also like to know what night vision system would have been used with this helmet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name of the pilot and potentially his call sign:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back of the helmet with the writing, 2001-NEVER FORGET:

Note the hole for the six point earcup retention assembly

 

 

 

 

 

Very interesting communication plug:

 

 

Snap studs at both cheeks of the helmet, presumably for some sort of oxygen mask:

 

 

Unusual TP-106 plug:

 

 

 

 

 

Inside of the helmet:

 

 

Information of the helmet:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, after I took of the visor system I saw that there were holes drilled for a single visor assembly between the top and bottom holes.

 

I would also love to know more about this helmet´s usage and potentially the pilot, if anybody knows something.

 

 

Any feedback is welcome!

I have seen the rest of that Nexus cord on Ebay recently.

Most of the info I've found on the net with the Amphenol/Nexus TP-108 is associated with the C-130 and MV22.

I know the Army used/use it and it would be nice to have a comprehensive list of all applicable aircraft.

Nice find on the SPH4B!
