          Aviation Heritage Park needs two parachute container retention straps and a pair of parachute to pilot harness straps.  They are needed for a Martin Baker MK H7 seat in an F-4.  Thanks for any suggestions about where we might check to find them.

    Ray - 

    Try contacting the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas, TX.   They had a very impressive ejection seat collection.   Their former curator, Chris Woodul, was a master at ejection seat restoration - the museum may be able to put you in touch with him.

         Thanks Ben  -  Hopefully you still have on file the application for Aviation Heritage Park that I filed with you quite some time ago.  We are still hoping to find a Huey one of these days.  We have an F-4, F-9 and a T-33 with only the last paperwork pending to pick up an F-111 from the boneyard.  Check out www.aviationheritagepark to see how we're doing.
