I'll be flying out KLBX (untowered airport). He does have a hand held

comfortable not talking to him...lol


Nah. By the time I solo'd, I practically kicked him out
of the airplane. He was lucky I slowed down first.

LOL! My instructor is an ex French Lt. He is a great instructor but
can at time be abrupt (must be the French thing), is a total
perfectionist (good thing). He almost always wears a flight suit
while flying... Why? KLBX is a civilian airport and last time I
checked, I have never served in the military.

Because it's made of fire resistant Nomex®?

hahaha. That would be great to do as a CFI. Sign up a new
student and at the intro flight, show up in the kevlar helmet,
fire suit, life vest, protective goggles and carry a fire
extinguisher.

Instills confidence in students.
