which is why I am reluctant to ask my instructor, but I was thinking
about getting a uniform.


I do not want to do anything against any "protocol", nor would I want to
offend any career pilots or military personnel. Accordingly, I want to
pose the questions for everyone here.


Is it permissible for a private pilot to wear a shirt and/or jacket that
epaulettes with 4 gold stripes? I believe that gold is for "officers"
(such as the captain of the plane) and 4 stripes signify the pilot (3
are for crew). Is this correct?


Also, is it ok to wear a pilot cap with generic gold wings to match the
epaulettes?


Although this may sound a little quirky to some, I am interested in
displaying how VERY proud I am, but I don't want to offend.- Hide quoted text -
