USAF nylon and a bit of USN G-1 action.

Just in case anyone is terribly interested. Some pix are old and some not quite so new. Now is the time to hurl your rotten tomatoes.

For those who truly appreciate two channel analog vinyl playback. It really does sound better than digital.

Thanks for the posts, especially the Orange CWU-1 flight suit . I remember first seeing one of those in an episode of Star Trek. :)

Yes! Great photo's of some of my favorite places. Nice nylon and I'm glad you wear them as well as collect. It's getting cooler up here so the M-422A and intermediate zone jackets will be employed for daily use. I still have a lot of my old vinyl records. In my car I use the Ipod that's compatible with my Pioneer head unit via cable. Keep the Ipod in the glove box and forget about it.

Had forgotten about that old Star Trek episode. As far as the B-15D, it's an Alpha reproduction and very high quality. It is no Buzz Rickson, but fairly close and one I like to wear out in case something gets slopped on it.
