I see myself as a pilot on a very, very, very loooong ground tour......

I now have to wear blues/CS95 as daily working dress. Of course I would love to wear a grobag every day and if asked, my boss might even let me, but I do not because:

1. I no longer fly routinely,
2. If I did, the other aircrew would banter me mercilessly.

I have met many aircrew around the RAF and Navy who have absolutely no chance of flying during the day, don't need to have their ac type identified, but still wear grobags.... and I understand it completely: BECAUSE IT IS COMFORTABLE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO IRON IT OR BULL YOUR BOOTS!

Fair play to them!

(But all AAC pilots I have met wear CS95... discuss!)
