That's why Yaks have got a "Snot Valve", so you can blast all the gunge out after you've used it. :E

Somebody mentioned Loewy going awol - maybe he's having an epaulettic fit! :eek:

RD :ok:

I am a PPL but am trying to build hours, if I go for a potter around I just wear any scruffy old get up, if I go for a long cross country I usually wear jeans and a pilot shirt. Dunno, by just putting on the shirt gets me in the flying mode and puts me in a mode where I am more concientious about accurate, disciplined flying (bearing in mind I do intend going to CPL).

Maybe I do get sneered at behind my back but I think it works for me in my flying.

Loewy,

If you want to wear epaulettes, then go for it. They are meaningless props, and you are no more and no less entitled than the 747 drivers are. At the end of the day, the airlines the pros work for are simply private companies, and have no special status to award ranks or similar designations ("Captain", "First Officer", etc.).

People will laugh at you. Well, big deal. There are many things in aviation that you must take seriously; but you don't have to take yourself seriously. To show that you know it is all a bit silly, you might go for the novelty five-stripe epaulettes that you can order from AFE.

Wearing epaulettes is childish, self-indulgent ... and ultimately harmless. The same can be said of recreational aviation as a whole. Have fun and fly safely.

I have to say that the current female RAF No 5 uniform is one of the most hideous things ever designed, only slightly worse than the previous version, which was bad enough!

Although i'm not a fan of uniforms they do have their benefits.
while waiting for the crew bus in the lobby of a hotel in White Plains, a lady approached, gave me her bag and asked me to place her bag in the waiting cab. Most enjoyable and easiest two bucks i've ever made.

Really? I quite like it! Except it makes my bum look pointy. :suspect:

Actually, I'm smiling. Just in a quarter cut sleepy kind of way. PMC told me it was Mr Vice's job to drink all the port, so I tried to.
