Some amazing pictures in this thread...showing great skill at work.
But I find this statement a bit rich for a guy that has his own PPRUNE thread dedicated to massaging his ego:
"Thanks Brother. Yaar gold bars, stripes & BS don't make You a better Pilot, that stuff is for EGO massage ONLY."
Not taking away from his skills..but maybe step off the soapbox a little.
I fly in a white shirt, silver bars and at times a tie...even polished shoes. I'm not stroking my ego...I'm following company guidelines. If the shirt and bars is the price I need to pay to fly close to home...then so be it.
