Dont do it!!!
The fact others will see you walking round with your flight gear will let them know you are a pilot - you will be laughed out of most clubs....
Aerbabe, couldnt really see your smile, maybe if you shaved we could see it better

JULIAN,
you're out or order! You should refrain from posting if you can only throw insults about.

seven bars
Once had a dispatcher who loved his stripes too much and seemed to have loads of them. One skipper borrowed the F.O.'s three to add to his four and added both their wings, one on each shoulder before heading out to greet him...

Epaulettes have no place in the non-professional aviation environment, they are only relevant to vocational aviation.There is nothing to stop you wearing them, but in your PA-28 they are seriously uncool and could only be an ego trip for you. Be proud of what you have achieved, but don't wear your own medals.

I beg to differ with the majority of replies on this thread. I think most PPLs are a messy lot and could benefit from wearing a nice ironed white shirt, tie and those stripey things on their shoulders.
All the instructors at the "training organisation" opposite where I am learning to fly wear propa white shirts and epaulettes. I yearn for the day when I to can wear mine with pride as I carry my shiny leatherette Jeppesen type flight case up to my PA-28 with a gaggle of dazzled girlies (and boys!) "oohing" and "aahing" as I mount my shiny steed (and then climb into the aircraft).
Also means you can charge an extra 20 quid an hour for instruction!

Hi guys.....I'm a friend of flash and was at the party where the photo of him and the cute girlie was taken........being one myself, I can vouch that all the birds are top quality there, but flash is guarding his territory - or at least trying!! So I just had to join in this one - sorry Loewy but I come from serious flying genes and like a bit of tiger moth aerobatics every once in a while.....getting back in to flying with flash's help.
My father would take the piss something chronic out of anyone who used epaulettes and the rest.....just give it up and get off on the sheer joy of flying......but i reckon by now, you've got the message. Enjoy x
