Correct flying clothing - safety considerations
When I flew in the RAF it was always impressed on us that we should be correctly dressed to fly. Flying suit, bone dome (when appropriate), leather flying gloves with cuffs fastened correctly, no nylon socks or watchstraps etc.
Then when I started doing a bit of GA I was shocked to see a much more relaxed attitude, with people flying in shorts, tee shirts etc. Now it seems that this cavalier attitude to flight safety has got even worse!
Sorry if its been posted before. Well actually I'm not!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Reminds me of an accident report I read once.
It concerns the pilot of an A4 light aircraft and his female passenger. The inquiry determined at the moment the aircraft flew in to the cliff the pilot had just ejaculated into the passengers mouth.
Moral? Make sure your flying suit is fitted properly and all zips fastened.

Close to AUW limits, I would have thought.

Max G pull up might achieve that, if that's your thing. No rudder though.
(afterthought ... or a lot of opposite rudder in the right phase)

It's a Global-gyro MTOsport - 53,000 euros to you, sport (pilot not included ).
MTOsport / Models - GLOBAL GYRO
Taken in the Canaries? Can't move for naked Germans there.

Well she is in the cockpit :P I have duly downloaded said video to watch later Plus she does have great aerodynamics and a nice pair to lift off from . I hope she has a nice cushioning for the landing
@Pontius - what a way to go kind of reminds me of my teenage years I heard stories about various car accidents in one village roundabout due to the female passengers had this extraordinary tendency to rest their head on the driver's lap.
Cheers

I like the "strap on" visible when she gets off.......
