Parts for F-15 Pilot Helmet

[Squatch]

I don't know where this thread belonged and so figured it would be moved once placed. I have a 90s era F-15 Pilot Helmet I was lucky enough to pick up at a surplus store, I was wondering if anyone knew a few things about it.

 

1. what is the buckle system called that is used for securing the oxygen mask?

2. Where can I find surplus visor and oxygen mask for it?

 

I am looking to complete the entire helmet with visor and oxygen mask.

 

 

Thanks mates,

It's likely an HGU-55P Gentex helmet. You could goggle some images and see if it looks the same or see if there is a label inside the helmet indicating it's model number.

 

To answer your questions:

 

1. The buckle system for the mask is called a bayonet receiver.

 

This link has additional information about the HGU-55P plus lots of other information about helmets and masks.

 

2. Ebay is a good source but you can also look at this site (in the USA).
