Short list of exceptions,

CAP members at the airport

CAF members at the airport

Civilian EMS pilots

Civilian airshow pilots.



FYI nomex flight suits are very uncomfortable and itchy. I always imeiatdely changed into my regular coveralls after landing.
 
LMFAO

He says "Other rated pilots" as if to say he is a rated pilot.....

Reminds me of that MikeD story where he told off the Major
 
Hilarious.

Although both posts seem almost too pathetically "wannabe Maverick" to be real. Especially that baseops one. It reads like a spoof. Come on - Brogan Steele!

Just for S&G's I Googled that name and it came up as a D&D character.

I represent that remark! I find old flight suits very useful for working on my car in the garage!

Two reasons:

1. It's a boost to my ego I can still get into someting I wore 30 years ago!

2. Being that old, they're not Nomex but the old K2B kind!

(still have Captain rank on them!.....now that is OLD!)

Actually a fat, old fart, drunken, redneck NASCAR fan!

The first time I ever saw a Nomex flight suit was when I was flying C7s in Vietnam, early 1970. They were pretty few and far between and they didn't have enough of the right size. I really didn't get any myself until I was a KC135 CCTS IP at Castle AFB in late 1973.

Like I said, the neatest part of the old K2B is still being able to get into one, albeit not quite as easily as I once did! I've kind of "retired" them from garage use for sentimental reasons!

Isn't there something in the NASCAR rulebook about wearing military issue Nomex around hot rods?

There is, that's why I never wear one to a race! As for my garage, I have a DOD and NASCAR waiver. It was easy to get the one from the DOD. Took a lot of money to get the one from NASCAR, just like any thing else you get from them!
