I’m posting photos of an original mint Hungarian Mig Flight Jacket I just received from Greg Gale. While the jacket is a gem and impressive as a rare collectors item here in the US. The story of how it found it’s way to the US and my front door is equally worth telling.
About 6 months ago Greg listed this jacket for sale here on the forum . No one seemed to take notice of the jacket, so after a few PMs with Greg he agreed to an offer and I purchased the jacket. Greg then shipped the jacket. This is where it gets a little crazy.
Days and weeks went by but no jacket. Both Greg and I checked with our respective Post Offices but all they could tell us was the jacket was somewhere in the mail system. Weeks continued to go by and turned into months, still no jacket and no information as to its location. Through this entire process Greg was a Saint and made every attempt to find the jacket, however no success. Eventually we both realized the jacket was gone forever and Greg without hesitation returned my money.
About 4 months went by and about 10 days ago Greg contacted me with a surprising story. He contacted me and told me that the jacket had simply showed up on his door step and sent me a picture of a box that looked like it had seen better days. However, after checking the jacket it was still in perfect condition. Greg asked me if I still wanted the jacket and without hesitation I said yes and sent him the money again. The most unbelievable part of this story is that Greg once again shipped the jacket to me and 7 days later , after all the drama by the respective post offices, the jacket showed up at my front door. Go figure! You can’t make this stuff up. Thanks Greg for being a great guy and selling me this jacket twice!
