Juan Trip made us dress like naval Officers
As a contractor mercenary, I have a closet full, and enough hats for a serious museum display.
With my latest national carrier (5 years already, gold on black), each time I requisition for shirts, I get another bloody hat & jacket.
the only ceremony was a long time ago when I went from 1 to 2 stripes, at another national carrier (& quite a few beers) Thanks Majid.
Everybody seems to have about 10 nowadays.
Ceremony is good. I was mortified that the Aero club forgot to present me with the PPL wings 30+ years ago (Anyone listening?)
My Mom has a large collection of wings, .....and by the way I like hats!
