We had 10 people working around 15 hours per day several days each week packing, palletizing, and loading truck trailers full of ejection seats, aircraft instruments, hundreds of helmets & masks, and literally tons of flight gear, then transporting them to our 2 warehouses for unloading. At that point we have to inventory and process each item. Estimates are over 12,000 line items and 500,000+ individual pieces.

During the Aviation Artifacts, Inc purchase we moved fifteen truck loads of equipment. The entire FlightHelmet.com inventory, including what had been purchased from Aviation Artifacts, Inc, was later moved from Central Illinois to Maryland.

Since these photos of the warehouses in Central Illinois were taken, we have completed the task of sorting, photographing, and listing all these items. Our customers now have access to what is best described as a gold mine of the rarest equipment that is no longer released for sale by the US Government. Stored in warehouses for over 20 years, we have unearthed unimaginable treasures to the aviation collector.

All of our customers are important to us and your patience has been very much appreciated. Thanks, FlightHelmet.com
