Yeah, from a bar called Fanny Dugans in Jax Beach a long, long time ago ?Bitch'in prop. Know what from?
There was a decommed Tomcat one on eBay awhile back for a cool $30K, but nothing from God's truncated chariot.if i wanted a cool chair for the office and had the cash to spare, i'd rather go for one of these in a GRU-7 model
Mine actually sits right next to a Lazy Boy. The RR chair gets about as much use as the recliner. But it could be that some folks that come around the hangar are afraid of Black Widows taking up residence in the Lazy Boy. The RR chair is still in need of a restoration 40 years after I got it. The recliner is past it's prime too. The beach towel hides worn upholstery. The joke is my hangar is like the Island of Misfit Toys from the animated Rudolph Christmas movie. Broken replaced or past it prime, it goes to the hangar for hospice. Tunes are courtesy my college Pioneer tuner and BIC speakers, old mini fridges make good dust proof containers, second set of tools in the hangar are replaced tools from home, two dining tables and chairs, old bar table top Galaxia video game, file cabinet replaced by flash drives, former wet bar cabinetry, old children's bikes, and more.While they are very unique and very Naval Aviation I cant imagine having one and actually using it very much. If I had a ready room chair and a nice lazyboy in my home I'm willing to bet I'd use the lazy boy a lot more. They're only good to sit in when there's no other alternative (ie the boat. Which has surprisingly few chairs and even fewer comfortable ones).
Did you ever find one, got one in a storage auction. Didn’t even see chair cause it was covered up but the unit was somewhat costly and I could sell ya the chair if interestedIn search of a pair of those cool aircraft carrier ready room chairs. Any possible leads would be appreciated!

Agreed. For nostalgic value, I have models, photos, and lithos, plus one of my old helmets (the other one is still in active use, and lives at work).While they are very unique and very Naval Aviation I cant imagine having one and actually using it very much.
