Enjoyed the gloves story.. cracked me up.
I teach in a Bell 47 and I did find with helmet, flight suit and boots on, and doors off!! it's bloody warm in there!!! it's like a mini green house! it's just as bad when your airbourne too!!
I fly now in the shorts and shirt atire, but do agree if it was to go all horribly wrong, not the best to wear, but practical given the circumstances
Good thread with good suggestions mind you..
