I'm interested in buying an ejection seat from a U.S. jet aircraft to make into an office chair. Love a T-33 seat but would be interested in just about anything. Please send me a PM if you have one you'd care to part with for a reasonable price.

Thanks,

-Derek

If Dixie is still operating, they have T-33 seats. I have a friend that used to have quite a number of B-52 seats in his salvage yard. Don't know if he has any anymore. I've got a nav seat from a B-47 that is pretty complete, but it's for my office :lol:

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what Dixie is? Is there a website I can visit?

Sorry...Dixie Air Parts down in San Antonio. They used to be one of the biggest T-33 surplus parts dealers around.

I lifted the following from a Google search:

Dixie Air Parts Supply
2048 W Malone Ave
San Antonio, TX 78225
(210) 924-5561
