An old friend asked me, a couple of weeks ago, if I participated in NATO Command Post Exercise Able Archer 83.

For Sale...a pair of jump seats that have been wrapped in shrink wrap for about 4 years.
They came with my 40 and I’ll never mount them again.
They were newly (black) upholstered in 2014 and are in great condition.
