    Description

    Hi there and thanks for looking!
    I'm offering for your consideration an original USAF SA-20 parachute container assembly.  Appears complete, but does not include the harness, canopy or shroud lines.
    Stamped:
    AUTOMATIC SEAT PARACHUTE 28 FT. DIA.
    PART NO. 50C7025-20
    DATE OF MFR. JUNE 1961
    MFD. BY SWITLIK PARACHUTE CO., INC.
    CONTRACT NO. AF 36 (600) 8686
    Also stamped:
    PACK PART NO. 59J6318
    DATE OF MFR. JUNE 1961
    MFD. BY SWITLIK PARACHUTE CO., INC.
    CONTRACT NO. AF 36 (600) 8686
    And:
    USAF 60 - 38730
    Overall condition is excellent with clear manufacturer's markings and only slight storage wear visible.
    Apparently this type of parachute was used in the T-33 and several other Cold War-era US aircraft.
    May be perfectly usable, however since this is more than 60 years old, it is being sold as a collectible only.  Perfect for your Korean or Vietnam static display, or other military collection.
    I have other vintage parachutes and parachute hardware and military surplus for sale, so please check out my other listings.
    Ships Free!
    Sorry, NO international shipping.
