What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Griffon_301]

back to heavy winds (my flying colleagues had some interesting times lately flying out of and into Vienna Intl. I was told our Cleaning company also had some extra work to perform after the odd turbulent landing ) and rather warm weather.
Santa either has to battle heavy headwinds here of he might benefit from a tailwind, depending on his approach route and the fitness of the reindeer

I for my part tried a new combination today, BR Thermal shirt underneath and the WEP as overcoat. this was just a bit too warm, so I guess I will go back to a G-1 or A-2 for picking upy mom from the train station later on.
crazy weather here...

visiting the super-swmbo aka mother in law so I had to dress up a bit...

I spare you the finer details, only so much: due to spring like temperatures, the Irvin I was intending to wear got replaced with the ELC M-422a in the last moment.
as much as I love my original Star by now, the ELC Repro USN jackets are bloody amazing in their own right...

I feel your pain Burt. The wife is from Billings. The first time that I visited her parents in MT was in January of 2005. Took a day trip to Red Lodge in a medium weight jacket and thought it was going to be the death of me. To be fair, some of the locals still probably consider 17 degrees short sleeve weather.

Yes !! I noticed that !
It was 22 degrees and some college kids were wearing shorts with hoodies .

would have loved to take a picture, but the visit to the super-swmbo is a mobile free event.
and one does not want to face the wrath of her in that regard

(to be honest, it's quite nice to digitally detox a little during the festive season )

Wot tha..?

You didn't think to bring an N-3B or something?

You should'a come to Chicago -- it was close to 60°F.

 

[mulceber]

Yep, it’s unseasonably warm here today too. So, GW 18091:

Edit: at the local air museum - John’s 18091 next to an original of that contract.

 

[blackrat2]

The RW looks awesome there Jan

It’s a long story but I didn’t have time to pack much as I was trying to catch a quick flight out here. So I just grabbed an A2 and that was it. BUT NEXT TIME ……

GW Star- terrible photo- in real life the jacket is roomy and loose- this pic makes it look a bit carpace-like. Still my favorite jacket.

Gives a whole new meaning to looking "cool."
