Current USAF Issue A-2s
US Wings Vs Cockpit Well, first US wings "Current Issue" is NOT current issue, US Wings fraudulently states that they are a current issue supplier, they are not. If you have questions you can contact the US Air Force, Cockpit USA is currently the only authorized "Issue supplier". I point...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
Repubilc_Flier, I guess you are CAP? (I was 20+ years ago) I just took some pics of my A-2 to show the quality of the surface etc and they turned out better than I expected. They turned out a bit "shiny" At least compaired to relality. I think my flash did it. I guess my point is.. the...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
Hi, Well, I actually got one of those rare deals of well, not a lifetime, but pretty darn good. A gut on eBay had a business that was going out of business and he had a few left in stock, NWT. He had it starting at $90.00 so I asked if he would do a buy it now for Christmas, I was blown away...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
Oh yeah, that be the one, pretty sweet, looks feels, and smells even better live. These jackets seem to run at a normal fit (right at your actual size, for example your suite size), not a military fit. Military fit is usually more form fitting, for those still at their "playing" weight. I...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
That is what they tell me. Made to the current USAF spec, all other materials are the same, just the goatskin is different. Actually US Wings, Cooper Military, US Auth, and another (I forget) all told me that they use imported goatskins for the same quality reasons, even though they...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
Hi guys. I actually got an email reply from Cockpit. The way they explain it is that they used imported leather (with final manufacturing in the USA) until 2006 when the "Berry Amendment" required USA born & bred goatskins only. They actually said that their imported goatskins are/were of...- dunedinmitch

Wow, that's unfortunate, doesn't make sense for their issue to be of such bad quality, they even have to use US produced goatskin for the issue jackets now... Oh well, I got my "replica" issue and it is sweet. To bad the real Avirex is gone.- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
Can anyone comment on the US Wings A-2? Does anyone out there have any feedback on the US Wings A-2s? They appear to have a pretty good and extensive offering but I haven't seen any comments on them or references to them actually having "issue" jackets out there?? I see Avirex, Cooper...- dunedinmitch

Current USAF Issue A-2s
(This is in response to HackerF15E's post on 12/09/2010 about the condition of one of the newer Cockpit USA A-2s) Interesting. I just recieved a new Cockpit USA, it is a "commercial" version so it is a different leather (imported), which if anything should be a lower quality, but this...- dunedinmitch
