Please don't get me wrong. This is not an anti flying-suit post.
Flying has come a long way since the experiences of our Battle of Britain heroes.
Rather than risking their lives in the air, the pilots are free to leave the room mid-flight, get a coffee, do exercise, read a book or maybe phone their wives at their base near Las Vegas.
Reports the Mail.
Yes I too wore the suit in the sim plus immersion kit plus nomex gloves plus helmet, because I was 'simulating' a live sortie and had to make it as 'real' as possible.
I don't want to take anything away from the skill of these guys controlling pilotless aircraft but, to me, it's a bit OTT to wear the suit. My opinion.
A guy's wings or brevet look equally as good on blues as they do on greens.
Again, my opinion.
