      But they sure look like they enjoy a good round of post-flight beers and sausages.

      As for flight jacket and khakis, I always found them reminiscent of the 80's ....

        Nothing wrong with that. To old guys like me (wild child of the 60's), the 80's were kinda like the "future".
        Those guys seems very personable but could probably do well to cut back a little on those beers and sausages.

          That's an A2 flight jacket.
          I was lucky to score a new Avirex one on E bay a couple of years back for $100.
          To give you an idea of the value, I bought one back in the 80's when I was in California for the Antique Aircraft Auction at Santa Monica. They were on 'sale' in one of the Airport Shops for $300.
          This was an A2, cold weather version with the Flying tigers blood chit on the back and some other "Flying Tiger' markings on it.
          I want to buried in both of them!!

            I know what you mean Dan. I still have my A-2 the Air Force issued to the Air crew, it's my pride and joy!
