    Pax NAS Commanding Officer Captain Heidi Fleming. I like the third photo because is shows the bi-swing back and underarm vagina fully stretched out.

    Why are original G-1 jackets so cheap compared to A-2s?

    When I re-sparked this thread I was thinking about some of the earlier posts in which members said they do or don't like G1 jackets. I never did, probably because they always seem too close to being civvy fashion bomber jackets, whereas the A2 is almost never seen as a civvy fashion jacket. But...

    Here's a summary of modern-day A2 contracts (from a Japanese website, of course):

    Branded Orchard M/C A-2

    That other thread is reasonably detailed for what is not a 'popular' or common brand among forum members. I doubt you'll get more info than the A2 review by Cedric Satterfield in that other thread.

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    That allowance seems kinds of daft. If I was in and had the choice I'd never wear leather unless I was actual on-the-job aircrew or retired from it. I have no idea what the USAF has to do with space - surveilance satellites?

    Why are original G-1 jackets so cheap compared to A-2s?

    Not to dig up a necro thread, but I'm wondering if the original poster's observations and the discussion are still relevant today?

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    I don't know if these are A-1 jackets or antecedents, but I'm sure the photo will be interesting.

    Someone who is a 46L and wants a Cooper A-2 in new condition should check out this e-Bay listing, price is steep, but it appears unworn and the knits are still tight and snug. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/181935709074?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    There's not a single piece of consistent footwear in that photo, plus the Gordon Gekko haircut on the guy in the G1 jacket is presumably not regulation. Do all pilots look so tired and bored in briefings like these guys and gals do? It looks like an 8:00 AM class in university - nobody wants to...

    ^ Not to get off topic, but I remember watching a PBS show on the SEALs and they wore civilian jeans in Viet Nam, claiming they were the most suitable pants for swamp and jungle. I suspect a good part of it was just to be different, though.

    Don't fighter pilots have similar regs regarding that? or are they allowed to do as they please? If you look closely at the photos you can see wear on the shoulders and cuffs, plus the knits are torn in a few places. It's definitely a jacket which has some miles on the clock.
