    Problems with Private Messages here

    Has anyone had problems with PMs here? I've sent out two about two weeks ago with no replies. The individuals that they are going to are regular members here and it shows they haven't been opened. Just wondering what might be up. I mean, it's not like I sent, "Hey, does this flight jacket...

    Skyline MA-1 Flight Jacket for sale - Size Large

    I decided that I probably have too many jackets at this time. Well, it was actually HH6 that pointed that out to me. Anyways, I'm putting it up for sale. It's a Skyline MA-1 flight jacket. Sage green outside, international orange lining. Two outside pockets and two inside pockets. The...

    US Nomex CWU 45 Flight Jacket with hood

    We were issued the hoods for our jackets, but I think only two guys actually wore them. The Life Support shop would sew the buttons on for anyone that wanted to use them. I think they were using standard AF buttons like that are on BDUs, etc. Mine is still in the plastic bag in my duffelbag.

    Civil Air Patrol

    Got that right. Since Big Blue AF decided that Air Rescue wasn't a real big priority years ago (until they're on the ground being chased by 10000 well armed and pissed off bad guys), they seem to pick up a lot of the "domestic" rescue missions. Stuff my dad would do in the 1950s-60s are being...

    Civil Air Patrol

    I was at the Fort Indiantown Gap Battle of the Bulge event several years ago. The CAP participates with the mess hall (I think), car parking, stuff like that. They, for the most part, wear woodland BDUs with orange caps. Well, I was walking down the company street behind two young ladies...

    B-3, Gibson & Barnes

    I'd love me a B-3, but think I'd opt for the D-1 or B-6.

    B-3, Gibson & Barnes

    Nice jacket, heard the B-3s were monsters. Very heavy and warm.

    We walk the walk but do we talk the talk?

    I read that "guys" can be used for a group of women, too. My father is 83 and uses the term "sh*tting in high cotton" all the time.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Yeah, it's a movie, but I'd like to have a word with whoever is the "military advisor" for this movie. 1. ACC Patch? Colors are reversed (blue on top, red on bottom) 2. Jacket unzip (zipped all the way or half way) 3. No hats outdoors. In fact, where's the females hat? Usually it's kept in...

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    My winter flight jacket had the same thing happen to it as in the pics. It's made by Isratex. My first summer flight jacket was a rag. Pockets all coming apart, no velcro, finally the zipper separated from the jacket. No tears, just the stitchign gave up the ghost.

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From "Cloverfield", when a US Army tactical operations center got the word to move: "Rack 'em and stack 'em......we're phantoms in 15!"

    Uniform questions?

    Thank you. I stand corrected. :o

    Uniform questions?

    The first jacket looks Navy. The Army never had double gold sleeve bands. Some of the others look like the 1990s era dress greens and the others the 1940's version of the dress jacket.

    The overcoat was known as the "horseblanket."

    Patton

    Patton had the rep of being a fire breather that was a terror to those he commanded. Come to find out he probably sacked about two senior officers, and one was after he gave him two chances. Bradley, the "Soldier's General", fired a butt load of officers if they didn't do the job.
