That's a legitimate question. Alex Henshaw bailed out of his first aeroplane because it was on fire. We've often discussed the flying suit thing, inconclusively. On one view, even spam canners should wear fireproof kit, but it's unlikely that this will happen. I have a nomex suit, but hardly ever wear it, although I do wear gloves, usually wear a flying jacket, and wouldn't go flying in, say, a fleece.
