Actually, just between us, when I did get such a wonderful thing, as a freebie from those losers at Oberpfaffenhofen to mark my transition to aviator status from being just a Twotter driver, I gave it to my son to wear to school here in Germany, when he promptly put in on "rapper" style, backwards.

I turned it the right way around; he turned it back around, saying "Jermaine wears his backwards!"

I told him, "Yeah, but Jermaine," product of a local girl and a black American GI, "is black! He looks cool. You just look like some doofus with his hat on backwards! Wear it the right way around, dammit!"

Getting that hat with the gold braid on its bill must have been the high point of my aviation career, now that I think of it. Oh well, but now I know how to figure out density altitude without a calculator ....
