Jon,

Save your
money and purchase more flying time..


Or a huge watch. Or a leather jacket.

There's one interesting exception, though: The air safari operators in
Africa, Hank's Aero Safaris being the most prominent, actually
recommend have a white shirt with four stripes, since customs people
and other airport officials in Africa can be impressed and this coaxed
into action by the four stripes. Having seen this myself when flying in
a charter Cherokee 6 (nothing happened when we passengers asked for
customs service at Zanzibr airport, but the "Captain" in four stripes
only had to shout "Customs!" in the general direction of the guys
lounging about), I am convinced.
