Uniforms?

So who decided to make us wear a uniform which resembles the one a fixed wing pilot wears?
Alouette - not offended in the slightest - in fact fully agree with you about the shirts!

On the other hand I wonder where the unwritten convention originated whereby helicopter pilots in certain areas of the World seem to gravitate to becoming so attached to baseball caps (preferably with more adornments than a Far Eastern Head of State on walkabout (e.g. Marcos, Mahathir Mohamed, etc.)

It appears sometimes that surgical intervention would be required to remove these items of head gear as they are worn apparently 24 hours a day even when eating and possibly even sleeping!

This seems inextricably linked to the wearing of lots of gold bars and big watches as soon as they leave the Titusville circuit (sorry pattern!)

I didn't offend you I hope!
