Wow!
I was expecting to get lambasted by folk telling me I was daft. I'm amazed at the amount of support, and here's something else- my wife, an ex-FAA WRN weapons tech, thought about this when I asked her if she would wear a flying-suit for all of ten seconds. She would.
And let's face it; regardless of what anyone says, we would only look daft until
a) the majority of GA pilots are wearing them, or
b) the worst happens, and we emerge through the flames with the whole family intact.
I do have some memories, though, from my blue-suit days of seeing folk I knew to be non-pilots suited up, ray-bans and all, in Tesco. Now that IS sad!
The drawback is that now I'll have to cough up for 3 more suits! Anyone know where I can get some really small ones (age 5 & 2)?
Also, I'm sure there must be a supplier of nongreen ones, but where?
Thank you, guys & gals, for your input. I look forward to seeing more nomex accross E Anglia.
