Jan , don,t spose you could find me an ejector seat , be ideal as me PC armchair flying seat

Ian, if you can find one, it ain't gonna be cheap! When the USN changed the ejection seat system from the ESCAPAC to NACES, I could have possibly gotten one then, but didn't think about it. Now they are expensive as all heck. Probably around $1500, and that would be the low range.

And believe me, they are NOT comfortable! Nice conversation piece though! Have always wanted a Martin-Baker seat from a USN F-4.

Ok,this latter one is sold but if you keep checking out this site or eBay ( and there are more ) you might be able to pick up something for a reasonable price. I stumbled over many ejection seats for sale, it's usually the shipping cost that spoils it ( for me that is.. ) Nah, i'll stick to helmets, O2 masks, goggles and such.. :cost1:

Or if you really don't know where to spend your money or do not want to get your hands dirty and still sit comfortably, you can try this site: http://www.motoart.com/seating/seating

hehe, I own a Martin Baker GQ7a (F104G Starfighter, german version) that is displayed on the website you mentioned:

http://www.ejectionsite.com/gq7aseat.htm

I used it as home office / flight simming chair for many years and it was very comfy to sit in (and boy, you sat _in style_ in it hehe).
When we moved house my spouse "talked" me into lending it to an air force museum here for a permanent display :-(
I love this seat and admire the brutal technical design of it.

Cheers,
Mark
