Its that time again!

I love a happy ending! :D

I'd like some opinions, Does the placement look correct? Would I be better off without the name tag?

Roberto just sent me a pic of the finished patch and I could'nt be more pleased!

Looks Great Roberto! I'm looking forward to seeing the 746th squadron patch you're doing for me.

Yes, it was an odd occasion. The Thunderbirds were visiting and they were preparing for a show for the General, I was there the evening before the day of the show but I was able to see part of it from the school playground. This was in 1969 [give or take a year] at Shepard AFB in Whichita Falls...

I gues my question is more aimed at "How" were they cared for. Products like Pecards was'nt around back then. Was it standard practice to just shine them up with Brown Kiwi and a brush?

I grew up on USAF bases, I did'nt see many A2s as the MA-1 was issue at the time but I seem to remember seeing a pilot polishing his shoes and then working on his jacket. Was this standard practice with A2s?

Standard issue on the "Good Ship lollipop".

this one looks interesting. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WWII-Fl ... 4082963591

Thanks for the up-date Peter, the search for answers to the past are fulfilling when they appear.

This ones kinda scary,............................and theres not much in this world I'm afraid of.

Cold morning at the range but it warmed up a bit.

So,.............if I wear a 44 in a Star Sportswear and 44 California Sportswear fits good but a little roomier what size Caleco would be right? I'm asking because I'm looking for one too!

+1 Outstanding Work!
