Re: He-219 Ejection Seat/Parachute Question

Horst, thank you very much for the quick reply. I have been to that site before, but can not make out the diagrams and photos on the wall clearly as my zoom function will not work on the panorama view. From what I can see, the pilot/front seat would wear the seat-pack parachute and the rear bordfunker would wear the back-pack parachute to fit the curvature of the rear ejection seat backrest. Not 100% certain though. I was hoping for one of those smoking gun photos or diagrams.

The illustration/painting that I am working on is of a "Uhu" crew enplaning as they watch another 'He-219' on a low pass. I would like to be accurate on this detail and have found little to go on.

I would love to see the museums exhibits first hand.

Thanks again,
Edgar
