    Description

    Gentex Pilot Flight Helmet Oxygen Mask USAF Air Force HGU-55.
    This is my original U.S. Air Force flight helmet that was originally issued to me in 1988. I’ve flown many different weapons systems and it was updated, upgraded, and maintained by our Life Support troops throughout the years. It was last inspected in 2006.
    Includes helmet, clear visor (I only flew at night when I was flying Special Operations gunships), O2 mask (broken), and boom microphone with NVG-compatible boom light.
    This is a 34 year old flight helmet with thousands of flight hours. It is NOT intended to be sold as usable. A Life Support specialist would have to replace/repair the O2 hose and service the helmet.
    Last aircraft this helmet saw was the AC-130U Spooky Gunship.

    I will include my USAF-issued OD Green helmet bag as well. Provides excellent protection for the flight helmet.

    Helmet liner says Size MEDIUM.
    Again, I do not recommend using this helmet for actual flying unless fully inspected and repaired by competent Life Support specially. The O2 hose is detached from the mask and would have to be repaired.
