I thought that this might be a way to generate a little participation here, as everyone can remember their very first flight jacket that got them started in this hobby.,
I told this story before, so I’ll make it short. Like most guys in the US who wore A2 jackets back in the early nineties, Avirex was pretty much the closest you could find to a good repro A2 jacket. I had one in seal that I did a high point sanding job on and it looked pretty good. I used to wear it everyday and occasionally all night as well. ( crazy times in my youth) . I rode a Harley and one night I went to a bar and met a girl who wanted a ride on the bike. It was cold out and I gave her my jacket to wear on the ride back to her place. When I left to go home I forgot the jacket .As the story plays out, I never saw her or the jacket again.
That’s my story of the demise of my first flight jacket . What’s yours??
