alwyn2d Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Attended the Travis AFB Thunderbird Airshow last weekend. I couldn't help but notice the wearing of 2 piece flight suits by more than a few AF crew members. Is the one piece flight suit being phased out? Which units are authorized in wearing the 2 piece? Is it optional or required? What are your feelings on the wearing of the 2 piece? I assume it's more functional but less appealing to me. I guess the AF is returning to its Army roots, with the OCPs and 2 piece flight suits. By the way, the female Thunderbird pilot's weekend performance was the best in the group while putting on her makeup in flight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter14 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I heard that HAF/A1 is actually forming a horse mounted posse charged with taking back everyone’s sage green flight suit. You can run, but you’ll only be undressed tired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the one piece flight suit being phased out?2 piece wear is not that new. I’ve been wearing mine daily for years. Pretty much all of the non-ejection seat types can wear them with the new 36-2903 rewrite. And no, the bag is not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stract Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I can report that it's being evaluated for airworthiness in at least one ejection seat MDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war007afa Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 My money is a “B-something”. If you can get up and move around the aircraft, I’m going to speculate a higher chance you can wear a 2-piece bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawg15 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If I don’t wear a normal flight suit then how will everyone know I’m a pilot? And if no one knows I’m a pilot, then why bother being a pilot? 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak to trainers, but yes, that reasoning would make sense, since the MAF pilots would theoretically PCS in without bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve worn literally every flavor of flight suit from the original Army two piece of early Iraq, high speed Crye two-pieces, and even an orange one piece that was a ‘SAR helo’ suit. I’ve recently gone back to wearing the one piece bag because nothing is as comfortable as a properly broken in one piece bag. And it’s really not that hard to take off a one piece to take a dump, and I’m a pretty big dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennials need their @$$es wiped for them since an app isn't readily available yet. Thus, we need new flight suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
