All this stuff was on a table this morning at the swap meet and what I grabbed was just the USN trousers and headed home. Then I immediately GOOGLED F-2 Flight Suit, peed myself, and jumped back in the truck. Everything was still there, so for ten bucks a piece I grabbed all the black label flight suits and a few other doo dads.
The Navy trousers rang a bell because I found a jacket very similar many years ago, very tight corduroy material with a waterproofing material within that made crackling noise when moved around. I sold the jacket to a guy at the Lowell, MA VA swap meet for 80 bucks. About a week later I found it on Ebay, it grew a squadron patch and was at 1800- with plenty of time left. Any info on it would be greatly appreciated.
From a quick research on my finds today, The F-1's are worth about 450- well used with the cords removed. Check out the AAF roundel stamp on the shoulder, they are stamped within as well and both are in mint unissued condition. And the Z-2's are about a hundred a piece used, these are all minty as well.
