**Mods, if this needs to wind up in the Parts Market after a suitable time, I understand.

I'm cleaning out my closet and have found a number of things that will be going to eBay, etc. I figured I'd offer this to the WIX crowd first.

1. Boots: A slightly used pair of genuine black leather Addison FWU-8/P Flight Boots complete with regulation laces and speed lace cinch device. Size 8.5D. These were spares I kept in my locker, so after a month of break-in, they were never worn again.

2. Green nomex flight suits: All size 40S, all with USAF velcro. I have 4 that are well used, 1987 vintage, but still decent enough for wear. One is a near-new 1999 model made of the newer Aramid blends. The last is a 1993 vintage 2nd edition McPeak style suit, but was modified - this might be somewhat rare & of interest to a collector. You can PM me for specifics of what was modified.

3. Tan desert flight suits: (these are known to run a tad snug) One used 42S. One used 42R. One new 40S with tags. One new 42R with tags.

What I'm requesting is $25 per item (includes USPS mailing in the lower 48). If you're interested, please PM me.

Ken

The boots, McPeak, and tan 42S are now spoken for. All else remains. Thanks for the interest!

More closet cleaning:

1 pair black leather Addison FWU-8/P Flight Boots complete with regulation laces and speed lace cinch devices. Size 10. Worn just a few months, used excellent condition. $30.

1 pair green jungle boots, circa 1967, original Vibram sole pattern. Size 9W. Well used but overall good/presentable. One boot has a hole in the fabric tongue. Could still be worn but might make a better addition to a Vietnam era static display mannequin. $20.

Body armor and fragmentation vest, woodland pattern, the type worn in Bosnia. Used but excellent condition. Size M. $35.

USAF Mess dress uniform: coat (38), Capt insignia, wings, trousers, cummerbund, plus extras such as cufflinks, etc. Dark blue; the style used from the late 80's until ~2000. $35.

ECWCS brown bear cold weather fleece jacket, size M, issued but like-new condition. $20.

SDU-5/E ACR Firefly strobe light. This is the type used roughly from 1970-2000 that takes the cylindrical batteries. The light is well used but functional and authentic. I have one or two spare batteries that are past shelf life so I can't make any claim as to their potency. There is a kit available online that converts this unit to standard batteries. $40.

Nomex flightsuits:

Tan, 40S, new with tags. $30.

Tan, 42R, used but good condition. No rank, USAF velcro, $25.

Green, 40S, used but excellent, Capt rank & USAF velcro, $20.

Green, 40S, well used. Rank and velcro. There are four to choose from. $15 each.

The prices above do not include shipping. If you're interested, please PM me. Thanks.

Ken
