And that's Alan on the left and of course me on the right. My wife Lori took the photo at dinner on Saturday night. She met a WASP at Thunder that weekend. We also met an original Tuskegee Airman and bought his book. And met Robert Morgan's widow and bought a signed Memphis Belle cap from...

Yes that's right, we did meet there. That was also the last Hump Pilots Convention as well, as they disbanded after that as it was their 50th convention and they originally thought nobody would be left. You were working on a '40 Ford Coupe then. And yes it does seem like a long time ago, a...

Just heard from John and he too thinks it was 2002. His jacket is an original G&F M422A.

Just came across this old photo of John Chapman and me outside Grant's hotel in SF. What year was this Grant? Before John started making jackets. He was still living in the Bay Area. Must be about 2002? I think John is wearing an original M422A and I'm wearing my beloved original B&T...

Grant, would you believe the 2 repro A-2's I still have are the 'red' Aero and the Real McCoys I sold you and then bought back? :) I do have a couple of original USN jackets though. Skip

An interesting side note here, I own an SE5 WWI propeller that was on a plane flown by Carl Spaatz. I have loaned it to an air museum in CA that also has a propeller shop.

It's been awhile as I've not been on here for a few years and no longer collect jackets...but my recollection is every M422 I owned or saw had real short sleeves as compared to an M442A. I never did get one that fit me. I think Grant had an M422 that fit, but he had to go to a larger size to...

Of course I meant B&T...not B&G.....

I just recently re-connected with John and he remembered seeing my original B&G AN-6552 for the first time at an event at the Hornet years ago, the first one he'd ever seen. I still have it, great jacket.

Fun to see these. Especially one jacket I owned for awhile, "Hazard Express".

Taking some, but will send them via PM to anybody interested.

I have one in size 42. Label is real worn and jacket is not mint, but it is a G&F ANJ3A and is complete. Could be a wearer. JC told me how rare these are. Mine is for sale. Skip

Not in the USA. Anybody can raise Buffalo (bison) and do what they want with them. There are some herds living in National Parks that are protected as long as they stay within the park boundaries. Skip (the original)

First jacket is dated 1970, second one has the DSA covered, could be '78 or newer. First white labels 1972. Skip

Jacket is from 1987 as per the DLA. Skip
