Info on military LW-3B ejection seat parachute OV-10 Bronco

[altairjump 0]

Hello,
I'm looking for info for packing of an LW-3B ejection seat parachute used on OV-10 Bronco's. It has a non standard vertical container the chute goes in.Hoping a retired military rigger can hook me up with a manual so I can get this packed. It will be part of a display.


Thanks

Contact 'peek' on here. Gary has a colleague that last I knew had the third largest collection of ejection seats in the country.

Thanks I just sent him a PM. This thing has me baffled.

You're giving me flash backs. I think that's what we used to pack for Bell Textron for the XV-15, V-22 Osprey prototype. What a POS. Hated those things. Pain in the ass to pack. They had to loan us a box of secret tools every time to close the damn thing. Is the ballistic cutter in date? I don't know how easy it will be to find a cartridge for those.

If you get your hands on the full manual for the seat could you send me a copy? I only saw the parachute it self. I never got to see how it integrated into the seat or the plane/helicopter.
