BravestDog 0 #1 February 10, 2004 I have one of those military round canopies that have the 4-5 different colored panels, ie white, orange, olive, tan... Can anyone tell me how these canopies were used? ie were they ejection seat canopies or were they packed in containers for planes like the P3 Orion...? Do they have any value or use? Thanks.

There should be a "data panel" on the chute, telling what type and size of canopy it is. Post that information for us, and someone can probably help you. The different colors were to provide both camoflauge and visibility to downed airmen, who needed to hide from the enemy, and signal friendly forces, in any kind of terrain; snow, desert, woodlands, etc. The value will be minimal; $100 or less.

BravestDog 0 #6 February 10, 2004 John Rich, Thanks for your response. QuoteThere should be a "data panel" on the chute, telling what type and size of canopy it is. Post that information for us, and someone can probably help you. I am unable to get access to the chute at this moment. I belive the data panel is stenciled on not sewn on and the stencils fade over years to the point they are difficult to read. My question remains, what types of planes did they come from and what were there use? Were they ejection seat canopies or the canopies that were packed in main containers on the P3's...? Exactly what were they used in? What type of planes? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You haven't provided sufficient information to answer your questions. If you are really that interested, go get the chute, and tell us what the data panel says.
