A marketplace of B-17 parts...where to find them, where to sell them, where to trade them, where to build them.

B-17 type pilot, copilot seat

Post by Doug Drexler »

I'm looking for pilot and copilot seats that are similar to what was used in the B-17. Exact match not really important, as long as they are similar and cut to same sort of basic profile.

Thanks
Doug

B-17 Pilot Seats

Original or new-built?
Airworthy or static?

Reason - Seats are on our list of things to do.

Hi Bill,

Purely for use in a static set. I'm an independant film maker, and huge B-17 AAF buff. I'm making a dramatic Internet series about Heavy Bombers over Europe. We are building the flight deck and bombardier/navigator's compartment as a set. I have almost a complete console for the cockpit. I'm looking for yokes, the central power pedestal as well. We'll mock up we can't dig up.

Doug
