OMFG. I thought I'd seen every Monty Python sketch ever, but this was

I attended a lecture by someone who had flown a Mooney solo around the
world. She said that in a lot of the world, you won't be treated like
a pilot unless you look like a pilot, so a uniform was a must if you
wanted decent service.

In the U.S. or most of western civilization it would just look silly
(although I do have the shirt and hat for costume parties.)

I am anticipating getting my private certificate in the not-too-distant future. *I know this may sound like a real dorky thing to some people, which is why I am reluctant to ask my instructor, but I was thinking about getting a uniform.

I do not want to do anything against any "protocol", nor would I want to offend any career pilots or military personnel. *Accordingly, I want to pose the questions for everyone here.

Is it permissible for a private pilot to wear a shirt and/or jacket that epaulettes with 4 gold stripes? * I believe that gold is for "officers" (such as the captain of the plane) and 4 stripes signify the pilot (3 are for crew). *Is this correct?

Also, is it ok to wear a pilot cap with generic gold wings to match the epaulettes?

Although this may sound a little quirky to some, I am interested in displaying how VERY proud I am, but I don't want to offend.


Go for it dude! Be all that you can be, and all that.
