Lou McDonald. We were in a large flight club and as a CFI I did a couple of aircraft checkouts with him. He went to Polar or Atlas. I can't remember which.

I'm looking at you.
I know a guy that got married in his FedEx uniform. Wears it to Christmas parties too. Adds inches from what I hear.

I know that Ex-Captain and I contemplated getting married in the DTW chapel in our uniforms on a 3 hour sit (We seriously almost made a special trip to get a MI marriage license beforehand) Can you imagine the looks on the other two crewmembers faces if we had asked them to be witnesses? lol

That would put you on a plain higher than Star Trek nerds. Which is cool. I'm a Trekkie. Not a DS9 or Voyager kinda guy but I get it. But getting married in the airport chapel? How would you consecrate that marriage? Stair well? Its always a little awkward too. I try to always take the steps just for the little exercise it affords me and without fail you run into a couple. I just pretend its not happening. Unless she's hot and then I just walk real slow.

I'm with bunk on this one. Punch him in the face and steal his girlfriend. That'll learn him.

PS. On the question of uniforms in public, I have switched sides 100%. I used to think anyone seen outside of a SIDA area in a uniform was a tool of the first order. Now I regularly go to the supermarket in my ridiculous flight suit. Honestly, go ahead and think I'm a toolbag, you're probably right. But I'm regaining 15 minutes of my day by not going home and changing. 15 minutes of my life > the high opinion of some dude I don't know.

Exactly. I go to the store at least twice a week in uniform (when I get caught not wearing it and made to) cause its on the way home. And damn right i give the cutie cashier an extra wink when im sportin the shoulder boards. And no i dont care if you think im a tool, ITS ON THE WAY HOME (and im a tool)!

Word, brother. I just work here. You think the Terminex man thinks twice about procuring his daily feast on the way home? No, sir.

Sure, I'll stop at the store or whatever on my way home too. Usually I'll take off the brass/epaulettes.
I'm taking about CAP guys in flight suits who go out of their way just to get attention and give people the impression that they are military pilots.

CAP guys are the worst. I know a college kid that is still in CAP and he wears that "flight suit" like it's his job. Oh well, just another tool in aviation.

Even better when the couple is the Capt. and FO!

I'll run into Starbucks on my way to work, in my jet jammies. Other than the occasional odd look and people asking if I am old enough to fly I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I've had more than one person ask me "If you're a pilot, why do you never have the uniform on when I see you?". There is so much wrong with said statement I've been dumbfounded and just ended up laughing at the person with no explanation. When almost none of your friends are pilots or even involved in aviation, you tend to get some very interesting, honest questions.
