Nomex flight suits

[fwjc]

I'm with BPF on this. I wear one for vintage, open cockpit and aerobatics flying. The risks are a bit higher in these environments, and the need to manage loose articles is greater. For basic spam can and closed cockpit bimbles I don't. IMO it looks a bit pretentious.

Of half a dozen flying accidents happening reasonably locally, only one involved fire and the occupant was unaffected (by the fire at least). I've seen more vehicles on fire on the road, but I don't wear a nomex suit to drive to work either...
