Anybody know where I can get some helmets to be used on warbird flights. Perhaps some old helicopter helmets, three different sizes for various sized-people with a microphone in order to be able to communicate with the pilot. Preferably used at a reasonable price.

Thanks.

How about cranials? mostly fabric and will fit just about any sized knob (easy to run through the laundry for cleaning too), plus they already are made to accept David Clark headsets, sort of give the 'pilot feel' without having to teach people where the 'corners' of the helmet are (banging on structure and damaging the helmets) or having customers complaining about how heavy the helmet is, the bump plates are just stiff plastic pieces. :wink:

Bear in mind any military helmets will need to be reworked to be compatible with GA comm gear. Simple process but does cost some $$. You'll need speakers, mic, and a plug adaptor.
