Actually, a baseball cap is the worst possible choice for OSH. Your
ears will be little stubs of charcoal after three days, if you don't
protect 'em.

Don't ask me how I learned this...

My first few years at OSH I made ALL the mistakes, including:

- Shorts, and no sunscreen
- Insufficient water
- Bad shoes
- Dark-colored hats
- Baseball caps
- Drinking beer you could see through...

The horrorl...

I don't burn.. Anywhere. (Ok maybe my nose sometimes (hence the
baseball cap). But I understand you thin haired folks. To be honest,
my biggest problem with hats (of any kind) is that I sweat under them
and get hot altogether. That reminds me, time to schedule a haircut
right before departure. Make it nice and short... :-)

Man, that would be nice. Us fair-skinned lads of German descent
aren't accustomed to tropical sunshine, so we must shield ourselves as
best we can.

The development of sun screens that actually WORK has been a real
Godsend for me. After burning to a crisp my first year, I wore long,
loose khaki pants for the next 15 years at OSH, sweating
accordingly.

It's really only been in the last ten years that I've been able to
stay out in the sun all day, bare-legged, thanks to the development of
modern "lead-shield" sunscreens.

Hey...dorky is "in" at airshows.

Of course, maybe that's one of the reasons young people aren't
flying. Too many dorky hats, and guys wearing dark socks and
sandals...?

Hmm. I got my lat Tilly hat FROM REI. It was the only place I could
find that carried them.

I think mine is the REI explorer... About 1/2 the price of the Tilly and is
much better at attracting all the hot airplane groupies who hang out at
fly-in's. ;-)

Both of them? Wow, must be some hat.

Careful now. He said they were hot, not that they looked nice. They're
attracted to hat because they want to cool off.
