    Scored a Score

    Great! I *have* seen a few of those in random Shops downtown Toronto in my time, Never picked one up because I wasnt sure its Value and date. I think there should be a number of these floating around still, they seem built to last.

    Did I spot a B3?

    Whats that one night Ranger Album there is a music Vid with the Guys running a B-25 Mission, and the Album cover is a B-25 and one of them has a B-3 on. The Vid is worth Watching for the shots of the Bomber and B-3 Jacket, the Hair metal Scene was not for me tho.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Should quickly Add that I picked up an oldschool Repro Parka similar to the one in the photo, It was about 25 bucks, and had real Sheepskin around the hood, You could buy something like that and use the fur liner off another parka, and thats easy and cheap. Just get real Creative!
