I would have charged him double. You forgot our fee.Update
i found Stu’s Facebook page and sent him a message about the jacket and he can purchase it from me for what I paid (ten bucks) He lives in San Antonio. Awaiting response
Just a guess , but it was probably a cast off from the two others he has that are in better condition.Me too. I can’t wait to talk to him to find out how it got displaced
Then why would he want this one back?Just a guess , but it was probably a cast off from the two others he has that are in better condition.
You haven’t even got the full ten? Here, let me get you the phone number to 5*…I think 10 of us could pitch in so Stu doesn't have to buy his own jacket back. Right?
Would love to know how it slipped through his hands.
So maybe he had three? Since he was Air Force he couldn’t get issued an A2 at the time so he did an end run and kinda joined the Navy/Marines for a bit through the limited exchange thangy. Stu sure does love flight leather and did what he had to do to get one!! Or threeThen why would he want this one back?
Tell ol' Vinny what to do with his sawbuck.
Just trying to involve the group. But since you'd rather not be a team player...You haven’t even got the full ten? Here, let me get you the phone number to 5*…
It was a question of condition, not quantity -- see the post I replied to -- then take in the emoticon.So maybe he had three?
How awesome of you do to all this, Vinny!Update
just hung up with Stu. The jacket will be shipped tomorrow back to its owner. We agreed on shipping cost and my ten bucks. Lol. Really awesome guy. A national treasure for sure. Actually qualified in the F4 for carrier operations (daytime only as he was quick to point out)
The jacket was lost by the moving company three years ago when Stu moved from Ga to Tx. It ended up at an unclaimed freight place here in Kansas City hiding in a crate which was bought by a couple who discovered it about six months ago and put in their yard sale. I purchased it for ten bucks believing it was fake at the time. With the help of the members here I realized that it was real and needs to be returned.
On its way to Blue Skies in the morning
