Flying suit

The FAR says your certificate and medical must be "made available to the
appropriate
authority on demand". If you are out for a local flight, leave it in the
hangar, and if they meet
you on landing, take them into the hangar and show it to them.

On cross country flights, pens, extra glasses, etc. go in the baggage
compartment.

My logbook, the aircraft and engine logs are in a fireproof box at home.
They are
irreplaceable documents, and I will not carry them in the airplane.

The only folks I know of that show up at IAC contests in flight suits are
Unlimited pilots
who have all their sponsor's patches that make them look like NASCAR
drivers.

The only people that look good in flight suits are Chandy Clanton and Patty
Wagstaff.

Try flightsuits.com. Whaddya want all those pockets for anyway?

Let's see, I'm sure there's some FAR thingy about having my certificate
and medical with me. A pen seems like a good idea too. Maybe a
spare pair of glasses since my optician is a bit hazy about negative
G requirements (although so far they've stayed put). It's true that
just one zipper pocket would cover all that. So if anyone knows
of a good source of flight suits with just one zipper pocket, that would
be fine too. Preferably not in pink spandex, at least not until I've
lost some more weight (which I need to if I want to fly the Pitts
anyway).
