Wonder how many flyers kept their flight jacket and in that state?
That is a super nice jacket art with a combination of different letter style, color and man that patch!!! I really dig that one.
Thank you for sharing Grant!

Those are two of the best photos on this forum! From the VLJ aspect, sooooo cool to see the period photo of him wearing this same same jacket painted with all his gear on and another where he is now wearing the same jacket in such outstanding condition at 102! It’s too bad these didnt make it into he Bomber Boys book! I hope he had a spectacular birthday and knows that there are many people out here that are so appreciative of his service. God bless you Goldie and thanks for posting Grant.

Ok guys … we now have hope for all of us whose jackets no longer fit . No need to sell them or give them away because if you live long enough they will eventually fit again !!
Vic … you’re awesome !!

Well... since I no longer seem to be a modern 44, I still feel a little let down.Ok guys … we now have hope for all of us whose jackets no longer fit . No need to sell them or give them away because if you live long enough they will eventually fit again !!
Vic … you’re awesome !!
However, the 34 waisted jeans I've been holding on to -- and fit again -- really help me over that concern!

All I can say is my jeans are getting longer, and the is a roundness where there once was a 6pack. Not a damn thing I can do about it.
