The Filson Thread
Andy, that is a great collection of Filson clothing you have. I have recently been eyeing their Packer coat and the Field coat and have shown my wife the pictures in the catalogue, to no avail. I think your pictures might convince her how cool they look (of course guys think stuff like that is...- Aviator

Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance
Perhaps my first post about Israel was a bit unclear, and made it sound as if we should totally disregard their security protocols due to the differences in size. I think we can learn quite a bit from them. My point is that we can't say (IMO, of course), that we should chuck our current system...- Aviator

Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance
Perhaps I should have said "apples and oranges. I don't think we should ignore Israel, but the "Israel does this, why don't we" is weak, in my opinion based on the threat. Intersting claim, but I saw nothing to back it up. Sounds like you have bona fides, and I appreciate your background...- Aviator

Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance
I think comparing the security at Israel's three international/<10 domestic airports with the hundreds of primary (+10K passengers) airports in the US is a folly. We have a much larger flow of people, making the problems of security exponentially more difficult. As for use of scanners: If you...- Aviator

Current USAF Issue A-2s
In the Coast Guard, we are issued the G-1 after reporting to the first aviation unit after flight school/aviation training. And thank God for being able to wear a flight suit occasionally in an office environment. And Hacker, I recognize that pic from AW, I think (though I go by a different...- Aviator

Mid Atlantic people check in here
Born and raised Virginian...but The Commonwealth is part of the South, firstly (the term "Mid-Atlantic" being a more recent invention). I've lived in DC, as well, but am currently in California (which I also love)' and will probably retire to VA or NC in a few years.- Aviator

Just got two Panama hats reconditioned from Optimo (Modem burner)
BobC: Though the brown-ribboned hat has fewer WPSI, Graham indicated it was a higher quality had due to the straightness of the weave. I'll take his word. Al_Ojeda: Very impressive makeover. My next will be the Optimo shape; yours looks great. I don't know whether it is the 'B' or 'C'... -

Just got two Panama hats reconditioned from Optimo (Modem burner)
I had picked up a couple of hats while in Montechristi, Ecuador over the last few year (this before I knew what to look for from reading on the Lounge). I owned them both for a few years and seldom wore them (neither were long ovals and the brim would buckle a bit). After seeing the nice work... -

Hats With Trenchcoat

Favorite Military Quotes
Something a friend of mine used to say (not original, I'm sure), after anyone shared a serious war story: "So there I was: at night, in the *goo... and inverted. How did I know we were inverted? My air medal was hitting me in the chin. We were pulling so many G's we were in the H's, with... -
when to wear your G-1...do you hear me!?!
I'm glad their are regs...but I'm a bit of a uniform hard-a$$ The Navy, the Coast Guard, and the Marine Corps all have strict standards on wearing the G-1 flight jackets. Part of this is that strict uniform regs are part of the military, and help us look professional; if regs weren't spelled...- Aviator
