St Helier, personally I recommend a uniform to make it clear that you are the authorised aircraft commander.

But a shirt and tie simply makes you look like a Dixons' sales assistant.

No, what you need is a dark blue uniform with gold buttons, suitable neck covering and, of course, proper rank badges and shoulder devices....

Something like this is usually adequate:


You should also consider a proper flying helmet. You can get an adaptor and outer shell to fit to a DC headset, but that offers little in the way of protection. Something like this is far more suitable:


As for footwear, just use your normal PVC thigh length fetish boots - but don't bother with the fishnet tights until you join the Royals. If you get some pink marigolds to wear as flying gloves, you can also use them in your Marine initiation cermony with a surgical mask.....
