Looks good, Marcel, but no, it's a civilian jacket.

An airman wearing that might kinda stand out amongst his friends ...

I have a similar MA-1 jacket issued by my unit (Hong Kong Government Flying Service), manufactured by Alpha. Only ground trade personnel are issued MA-1s or L-2Bs, Aircrews were issued CWU36/Ps

The L-2B issued to me back in 1988
