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

It looks like the liner has aged faster than the rest. Even the zipper and tape looks pristine, knits looks strong and clean and that skin is in an amazing condition.

Thanks Dany

Awesome Burt. Must be extra rare in that size?

I have to measure it out but I think that it’s a size 50 which would be very rare for an original A2

The guy would have been a mountain back then. Clint walker size.

A 50 or near enough I reckon. A beauty if I may be so bold.

Thanks Steve!

On the money sir! First GW to enter my possession. A jacket J.C had been wearing around for a while, offered for a price I couldn't refuse.

PS. Your new Imperial is all manner of beautiful Bseal, bravo!

Not cool enough for jackets, but a perfect day for an intro ride to helicopter flight training. 80 degrees and breezy

So you’ve finally decided to go for it … Congrats Tim!!

That's the plan, still in the shit or get off the pot phase but hopefully I can make it work.

That will be awesome. I looked into when I started my fixed wing commercial in 1980 but it was just too expensive. Also, back then the only helicopter jobs were generally waaaay more north than I cared to be. Hudson Bay, arctic etc. Things are better now but too late for me. Congrats. Enjoy the journey. It’ll be a blast.
