It annoys me also on fires here. We have fire bosses, line bosses, sector bosses, helitak crews, in some provinces all wear the 'WINGS' proudly.....
and love to show them off.....if only they knew how much the real aircrew are taking the piss......
. On one particular bird towing job, I even had the system operator in the back all dressed up like a topgun ace with flightsuit a la wings and bars....oh how we laughed......he never did realise why..
