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

Weather has finally packed up here, 8 degrees and drizzle so I've been able to stow away the A-2s and drag out the Barnstormer. I bloody love this coat and it sticks two fingers up at any rain.

Dmitry, that Star never gets old! Wish I could give it two likes!

Thanks Brett,
This ELC Star one of my favorites ... I have three days at home and comfy appropriate weather to wear all my jackets in turn.
Our climate is usually not very suitable for A2 in the last few years. Very cold ....or very hot. The off-season is disappearing from our life ... very short spring and very short autumn. And sometimes there became strong winds ... like in Kansas ... in the last few years we were several times has side wind restrictions during landing here ... but this is for another pilot's thread of VLJ forum.
The climate is changing.

Compassion and understanding of you, Pilot. I'm with you in this boat :)
For me all my jackets also the clothes of the day off ...damn, my company will never allow nobody of us to fly not in A2 or G1 but even in any other jacket :)...only for FFS training sessions sometimes when we are all wearing jeans.
No "painting, no nailings in nose, ears or elswhere"... No "funny wear, no etc... no funny goose-tail or other funny hairdress etc..." but good money anyway...

Thats a killer (worse than nitrogl..!.)..Hope the flight attendants are ugly ...

ha ha...Don't worry there are none (even ugly ones) I'm on cargo plane we have no flight attendants (no one will bring coffee and lunchbox, must do everything yourself) . Seriously, I remember my work on passengers lines like a nightmar .

because of a life time of wearing sperry deck sneakers and flop flops, my feet are now about as wide as they are long. some might find this "problematic", but i dont. ya see, when your feet are wide, you become super stable in high wind situations, balance is great, and those wide feet keep my planted on my board.....although, i do leave interesting foot prints in the sand.
