Hey guys,I used to get training in the PLAAF, but very unfortunately,I had to leave army for some reason.right now I bring my helmet which is the only thing related my army memory to Sydney for my uni-life,and I never think about give up fly. But the bad thing is I found my helmet can't use in the any plane here,even for the jet fighter here. Because me helmet has a very special headphone plug,and it is only for the headphone because the mic-phone is separated( it is a throat phone or can use mic-phone in oxygen mask), I can't find any adapter because i DON'T even know the name of the plug, so please, IF ANYONE have any idea please tell me:{:{:{
This kind of plug is same as all the helmet plug for Russia air force helmet
here is the link for an example Fighter pilot headphones! (http://www.instructables.com/id/Fighter-pilot-headphones/)

I gather the microphone/earphone connector is not compatible?

If you want to use your old helmet in civilian aircraft. Could you cut the plug off the end of the cable and buy a new plug for that aircraft? Then get an electrician to solder the new plug onto the cable of your helmet? The cables should be the same, it should just be the plug that is different.

I see it also comes with AGS (aircraft general spare) prices! Just cut it off and fit the connector you need.

Ever thought of binning it? There are some really good helmets available - even some new ones on Ebay. My best friends dog used something like your helmet for practice humping.
