Dear Marjorie.
Dear Marjorie,
I need help with a personal problem. It seems I cannot visit a pilot shop without buying something, whether it's needed or not, and on a recent visit to a Transair shop, I purchased one of their navy blue bomber jackets - you know, the one that has a gold pair of wings embroidered onto the breast.
Actually it's a nice, practical jacket, and warm for winter use, but the problem is I cannot bring myself to wear it - as a lowly PPL holder, I feel really pretentious, and really don't want other aviators to think I'm a prat!!
What should I do?? Do others wear such an elblazoned jacket without feeling self conscious or should it go on Ebay?? As I say, I really don't want to look a prat!! Your advice would be appreciated.....
