You old cynic, you.
I'm amazed at how seriously some people takes the issue of image while flying. It is so unimportant and so trivial as to be laughable. Who cares what people wear? The only real issue is 'safety' clothing, e.g. Nomex, versus t-shirt and shorts, but it's one for the individual.
Come dressed as a punk with a large ring through your nose and a stud in your tongue, just to shake up some of the Daily Mail-reading brigade you might find propping up the bar at your typical SouthEast flying club.
