Default Glider Pilot Dress Code

What did he call that photo........the first semi-nude picture in soaring
magazine I think. He will forever be Admiral Henry "Hank" Nixon for that one

So, how should you dress for a XC flight, where you might land out.

Should you dress up in cool stuff to impress the locals - or dress in
rags to get some sympathy ... or dress like a pilot (quasi military)
to get some repect.

Also, this may apply to underclothes as well ... you never know when
you may wind up in someone's photo op ... I seem to remember a photo
of Hank Nixon in his tighty-whities pulling his 27 out of a lake.
