I've seen a few jackets up on eBay that are being listed as CWU-106/P flight jackets. Real issue item or fancy designation and hopes of being adopted by the military?
Interesting that the manufacturer (Propper) dances around a bit with their wording --• Made of a breathable GORE-TEX® membrane between a flame-resistant Nomex® fabric and a Nomex® knit backer
• Made in USA
• Fabric is waterproof and breathable
• NIR compliant
• Type I designed for airmen and aircrews who operate rotary and fixed wing non-eject aircraft
• Removable hood
• Zippered exterior chest pocket
• Two hook and loop chest patches
• Internal chest pocket with hook and loop closure
• Two hand-warmer pockets
• Water-resistant zipper front with cloth pull
• Reinforced elbows
• Combination covered pen pocket/zippered pocket on the left sleeve
• Adjustable hook and loop closure at sleeve cuffs
• Approved Safe-To-Fly by the U.S. Air Force
