Default Private Pilot Uniforms

If you were really smart, you would wear a flight suit. Pockets in all
the right places and flame retardant.


I bought a used flight suit (from an army surplus store) with the
intent of wearing it for CAP. It's now relegated to use around the
hangar as coveralls (Mary and I both have them) and I can vouch for
the fact that they are excellent for this purpose.

They are comfortable, warm and have (as you say) lots of pockets.
They protect my clothes when I'm changing the oil, and are also useful
as Halloween costumes. (We've worn them for this several times, as
well as in the Fourth of July parade, when we drove our float as Fred
Noonan and Amelia Earhart. And, yes, I know they didn't wear flight
suits like these in the '30s, but 95% of the crowd didn't know that!)
