Hey! What do you find wrong with PW-5 pilots?

So, how should you dress for a XC flight, where you might land out.

Should you dress up in cool stuff to impress the locals - or dress in
rags to get some sympathy ... or dress like a pilot (quasi military)
to get some repect.

Also, this may apply to underclothes as well ... you never know when
you may wind up in someone's photo op ... I seem to remember a photo
of Hank Nixon in his tighty-whities pulling his 27 out of a lake.

Down in this neck of the woods, it doesn't hurt to have a well-used and
dirty John Deere baseball cap laying in the back to put on 'real quick
like' when you land in some farmer's field.

I guess most of us hope to land out less often than
we make it back to base, so the answer to this one
is surely 'whatever takes your fancy'. Cycling lycra
for example (including padded buns tee hee) would be
just as acceptable as the more usual garb of worn old
clothes, strange hats, and layers and layers of fleece
for winter wave flights. Aside from our own prejudices
of course.

However...

Also, this may apply to underclothes as well...

*always* clean, at least to start with...

What did he call that photo........the first semi-nude picture in soaring
magazine I think. He will forever be Admiral Henry "Hank" Nixon for that one

Just because Kochanski can't keep his eyes off his partners butt, I
gotta get sucked into this thing!
And they weren't white.
Child molesters get forgotten sooner.

UH, as you approach your golden years and the legacy you leave for
future generations, forget about your years as an instructor and
tireless promoter of all types of soaring, your work with junior
pilots, your contest record, your national championship, your presence
on U.S. World Teams, and your winglets installed on gliders around the
world. All anyone will ever remember is that one
"landing" (splashdown?) and the photographic aftermath.

Life isn't fair.

Larry, ain't the proper usage "right quick"?

Makes no difference ... it's a generic term ...
