You'd look right at home on the roads around Boulder
(or SF, I'm sure)

If you're in SF, make sure there aren't any holes in
your pockets. If a
quarter falls out, you'll have to kick it all the way
to San Jose before you
can bend over to pick it up!


Hmmm, or maybe thats what the padded buns are actually
for...

Gee thanks Brian, I can hardly wait. Maybe I'll just show up like
that to the safety meeting to lighten it up a bit. I don't think I'm
the only cycling glider pilot though.

I don't know and really am not sure if I want to know what the
previous poster meant.

KK, I'll be thinking of something real special in return of this
favor. There might even be some contest guys willing to help in this
regard too.

Is it a safety thing? Must improve glider visibility somewhat...

Well, all the field assistants at PGC are required to wear those funky
orange or green visibility jackets. I guess now the pilots are required to
dress as well.

To set the record straight, I showed up a the field (which is close to
home) to meet another pilot and go out on a ride from the field, like
anyone will believe that on this group. But I did give a spring check
ride while waiting that went for an hour. I did notice that the local
vultures were seemed to be avoiding us.

Geez, can't you find a PW-5 or 1-26 pilot to pick
on...................

Kochanski, wipe that silly smirk off your face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Down in this neck of the woods, it doesn't hurt to have a well-used and
dirty John Deere baseball cap laying in the back to put on 'real quick
like' when you land in some farmer's field.
