Hello from Massachusetts

[Douglas13803]

Happy to join this group I have been a civilian pilot all my life but have close friends who were Airforce and Navy.

I am starting two dream restoration projects an F-106 and a F-101 ejection seat restorations  i am sure the advice and insight here

from the members will be invaluable.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing the progress of your plane seats! That's a unique area of interest.

Welcome to USMF!  There are a couple of people here who have done seat restorations on F-106 seats so you should be able to follow in their footsteps on a few things.

 

Ejection seats are fun projects but can be very frustrating finding all the little parts. I have two seats I completed years ago, an Air Force F-4 and Navy A-6 seat. My main area of collecting is aircrew survival equipment, and I have seat kits from both an F-101 and 106. The kits are the same with a few modifications over the years, so I can probably help you with any questions on those. (First, I should ask, which 106 seat are you restoring? B-seat, zero-zero, or an earlier one?)

 

I look forward to seeing pictures of your seats and the progress on the restorations!!!
