This is the same one as some of our members discussed in our Perch forum earlier this week. This helmet belonged to the Assistant Crew Chief (ACC) #7 (not one of the pilots, even though the seller makes it seem so). For whetever reason it's found its way to eBay and although authentic, it has not belonged to one of the pilots as indicated.

Yeah I did find it funny that the seller made it seem that it was the pilots helmet and not the ACC...Just thought people might want to see it.. It does look great though.. There helmets are definately a piece of work.

PS sorry for the repost in this case.. Dont have access to the Perch so I had no idea it was posted... :oops:
