A side note about my clothes choices when flying. Although it
may look like I just throw anything on, my flying clothes are very carefully
chosen. I select clothes that are from my slightly-on-the large-size section of
my wardrobe (since losing some weight I have six different clothes sizes in my
closet), mostly because I don’t want anything too constrictive and
uncomfortable on in an already tight cockpit. I also have a selection of t
shirts that are presentable but that I don’t mind getting oil/fuel/dead
insects/assorted bird crap on. Nothing too revealing and nothing with long
sleeves (I hate long sleeves). Most of my tops tend towards the geeky side as well. Maybe I'll post pictures of the best ones. I've decided that my "Bazinga!" t shirt is cursed. Gravity hates me when I wear that shirt.
Footwear-wise there are a couple of schools of thought; RTH likes
to wear his heavier boots because he feels that it gives more authority on the
rudder pedals. I like my lighter sneakers because I get more feedback from my
feet positioning. Unfortunately my most comfy sneakers are my old sailing ones.
They’ve been dunked in Lake Ontario a few times; consequently I don’t think
they are the most fragrant item around!So back to the wardrobe malfunction, I got home, took off my jacket, looked down and nearly stabbed myself in the eye. Yep I’d somehow managed to bounce the wire clean out of my bra!
I really didn’t think my landings were that bad L
