Gliderport Dress Code

My glider is a 1970 model.

Should I wear clothes made in 1970 or earlier?

(I probably still have some...)

One thing I can't do: Grow hair to suit a 1970 image...

Do they still fit?

I guess we should be thankfull for small mercies.

BTW - an addition to the dress code. NO COMBOVERS.

No it won't. The "Ridge Dress Code" applies EAST of the Mississippi.
CALIFORNIA dress codes are have a very different flavor: recall,
"formal wear" in California implies SOCKS are worn!

My glider vintage is mid 60's -- I think the only clothing I have from
those daze [sic] is my Boy Scout uniform!!!

You mean this was a joke? I wonder if I can still return all the
stuff I just bought at the Salvation Army store.

So when Jim Payne makes his Tehachapi to Harris Hill flight will he
have to change clothing (uniforms?) as he crosses the Mississippi?

If anybody can change clothes soaring across the Mississippi, Jim
Payne can!

After all, 2/3 of his diamonds were in a 1-26!

P.S.: California Dress Code (CDR) does not PRECLUDE "overdressing" to
a Ridge Soaring Gliderport level (or the more lenient "Harris Hill
Standard") prior to launch. Based on the keen attention to pre-flight
planning Mr. Payne has demonstrated in the past, I suspect he'd be
"pre-dressed" to meet any need for badge, record or formal attire.
