But you should have one of these to fend it off:

Jolly lucky no-one asked you to start their car as well - many an RAF officer has been mistaken for an RAC patrol person.

Check this guy out.....When you pass your IMC, you get to wear this!:D:D:D

Aerbabe,

I really like that helmet! That's just what I need to keep from bashing my head on the canopy at the top of most maneuvers I spill out of. Think it's possible to rig it up with a boom mic?

If you can't fit a boom mic to it, I think the Tie Pilots' helmet comes with one built in:

You didn't see the Pioneer with the split canpy that crashed on landing at Popham a couple of years ago then?

Inbound from Belgium I think it was, hit turbulence crossing the coast, head hit the canopy, which split across its width with the back section opening up to form a big air scoop. Ran out of elevator authority and ended up doing the shortest landing I've seen on 08 (around 10 metres ground run).

We picked it up and carried it off the runway and it was back about 6 months later following repair.

You're not going to post THAT picture of someone in uniform are you?

What ... this one? http://www.cybergifs.com/faces/angel3.gif

Attractive thought that is, I suspect Fournicator's baser instincts would be better stimulated by Adam's pic. (although come to think of it, Fourni's baser instincts probably require sedation rather than stimulation);)

You look very trim!

Mike

Although slightly off topic, this would probably save a few head injuries if you encounter turbulence.... Might put the CG off a little though :) Bet you could find a smashing pair of epaulettes to go with it...

Loving the randomness of this post... Has kept me sane this afternoon!

Thats not as bad as people who fly 152's etc whilst wearing a flying suit a'la fast jet jockey. To$$ers:}

You may find the arguments relating to whether or not you should wear a flying suit are somewhat different.:rolleyes:

That's also been debated ad nauseum here too.

Check out p57 - might be just what your're looking for.

THIS COULD BE YOU

All set for your sunday afternoon jolly, and your girlfriend has come too :D

Loewry,

See what I mean? See how this has gone? And you haven't even worn epaulettes yet. Best can the idea, I think...

No, I haven't been at Popham that long. Just moved into the neighborhood last August. Nice place, Popham. Glad I'm there. Now if we only had a few more Pitts.....

I haven't read the whole thread but there are places in Europe, Barcelona being one of them according to info I got in 2005, where turning up wearing a commercial looking pilot uniform gets you tax free avgas (about 1/2 price).

In most of Europe you can get tax free avgas on production of an AOC, and forging a piece of paper can't be that hard. Nobody is likely to check it, either.
