Hello to all...my name is Kirk Sunley , and while I am a rated
helicopter pilot I am also a collector too.
There

visor.
2 US Army
issue SPH-4B dual visor with NVG/ANVIS visor covers / no mounts
a USAF
issue helicoter crew configured HGU-55P with a PRU-36/P dual visor housing.
a brandnew
HGU-84/P size XL
a brandnew

a USArmy
SPH-5 with NVG/ANVIS mount, battery pack and liplight
and lastly
a SPH-4 dual visor white in fantastic condition
While I don't have
pictures of all of my helmets, I am also working on that right now too, there are a
few pictured here but you can find more on my new website, dedicated to the flight helmet.

I have seen others
collections here and have been just really blown away at some of the really fantastic
pieces of aviation history that we are in charge of. I have been collecting over a period
of about a decade and I have seen some of the most unusual flight helmets in the hands of
the private collectors...Steve's herd of helmets being the most wide spread yet I should
think.
Well that's about it for
me...please feel free to contact me via e-mail if
you have any questions or comments. |
