Yes, of course, wear hi viz where needed/required to on an airfield but pls take the darn things off when not. I come from an industry where hi viz really can be a case of life or death.
Maybe some folk just forget to take it off? Or wearing the jacket because the heater is u/s?
As for "posing" - I didn't do it as I hate "selfies" but I can fully understand anyone who does after a satisfying achievement like 1st solo. Is there a problem with that?
Think some of you need to get out more.
