Lockheed F-104G C2 Ejection Seat
Apr 1 2008, 4:11 PM EDT
Dear All Aviation Enthusiasts

I own Lockheed C-2 ejection seat from an F - 104G, it is made by Canadair with P/N 792987-101 l4 and S/N LS683D / 6017 under Contract No AF 33 / 657 / 9261, which I have restore to 60% original and which I use as a desk chair in my office at home. In order to improve it I would like to know if it possible to find items like the Survival Kit pack, Parachute pack (empty) or the oxygen houses etc to bring it as close to the original as possible. (I had find it back in 1993 in junk Scrapyard with ex military staff) Thank you in advance for your time and concern to my query.
Kind Regards

Hi Loannis,
I made different searches with different names that I saved in "All Favourite Searches".
That way you receive a mail each time a new auction is started under the names you specified. (for 6 months)
So I searched with the following names :
"Ejection Seat"
"Siège éjectable" (the same in French)
"Schleudersitz" (the same in German)
"Survival Kit"
If you type "F-104 Starfighter Lockheed Ejection Seat Teil ebay" on Google, you should find the survival kit I purchased and have a idea of the price I paid for it.
I made all my searches from ebay.be (Belgium) but I found my items on ebay.de (Germany)
I searched for two months to find the item I was looking for...

My very best regards
Serge.

You're welcom John...
I've been one time in Greece when I was in the BAF (Belgian Air Force) That was at Tanagra, nor far away from Athen in the 80's
And the only words I learned at that time (I was 25) was Sagapo Agapimou !!! (Not sure at all about the orthograph)
But i'm sure you will understand !!!! :-)
All the best from Belgium
And good luck...
Serge.

Serge,
Yes, I do understand this actually means "I love you darling".
You are from Belgium then and let me guess you have been a pilot with BAF F-104?
Well, I have been many times at Belgium since mid 80s as a single ant then as married with family, my mothers sister lives at Charleroi, Gilly for more than 45 years, the last time it was a couple of years ago during Christmas time. we arrived exactly the day that tsunami strikeout SE Asia.
We might come again this summer, we will see.
If you like you may contact me off line
