[simpits-tech] 1980's Navy Aircrew Gear List

[Sean Galbraith]

Lol!   I can relate, I have a similar mish mash, but leaning towards
Navy (I like Navy, and I'm building a TA-4 sim...) but my helmet mask is
HGU-26/p and MBU-5/p.  Interestingly here in NZ our Skyhawk drivers wore
a combination of US Navy and Royal Air Force gear!!  Very weird, and in
the final years they went more RAF, with Alpha helmets.  The Australians
wear HGU-55/p helmets with RAF "P" Masks... the flightgear world is
'odd' at best ;-)

Sean, 

Thanks for that fast reply...  That was one of the first websites to pop
up on a search, and indeed it is a great source of info:

 

F-14

OVER LAND & WATER

CWU-27/P, Note #2

HGU-68(V)/P

MBU-14(B)1/P CRU-79, Note #3

AIRSAVE

LPU-33/P (LPFC)

CSU-13B/P

TACAIR CBR CONFIGURATION

 

This is the list from the late 90's just prior to the retirement of the
aircraft.  The HGU-68 is the current issue helmet, starting from the
mid-90s on...  The airsave vest is also the mid 90's replacement for the
SV-2, I think, I am not positve on that one...   I do have a mbu-14,
however I don't have the cru-79...   I did stumble on this site just
now:

 

F-14

HGU-55 and 68 CE

MBU-14 and 24

CRU-79, CRU-103

CWU-27/P

SV-2B

 

MA-2

LPU-23/P

CSU-15/P

 

http://flighthelmetltd.com/flightgearinformation.html   -- I am getting
closer, the hgu-55 replaces the 33... and at least the SV-2b is listed
here, as well as the lpu unit number....  

 

I currently have a mish mosh of parts, some airforce, some navy...  i
finally come to the conclusion that the navy way is the way i would like
to go... consequently, i have a cru-60 and a cru-90 that is now going to
collect dust, as well an airforce harness with capewell's as well...   I
did get lucky last year and got a complete set of frost fittings...
my wife just shakes her head... oh well...

	Have a look at:

	http://www.flightgear.tk/

	 

	At least as a starting point.  Plenty of useful stuff in the
"best of flightgear" website too (link on the main page)
