The Robinson factory is a few miles from my house. Great photo.

Wow. Is that why your dad flew them when he decided to try the copter?
We have a lot of Robinson here, but they crash frequently. This is not such a simple bird how it looks at first sight, as far as I understood from conversations with the guys who fly them.

GW M-422. Saw a two-ship V-22 fly by right over the cliffs!

Too damn hot here already for an A-2. Rocking the MASH B-1 tho!

I feel your pain. Out here in Michigan it’s been in the mid-80s (about 30 C) all week. The jackets are sitting in the closet.

Tell em Jorge! ………The heat down here just kills your chances of ever developing an A2 with any kind of wear or Patina down here .

Fair - I'd point out though that we don't have air conditioning up here, so when it gets hot, I can't even try jackets on in the privacy of my own home.

an excellent way of loosing weight especially when wearing a B3/ B6/ M445 or an irvin ....

 

[Jorgeenriqueaguilera]

That is true, no chances in Florida! I'm in South America right now, but just for a couple days. Cold fronts are starting here, so I might have some chances to wear a G-1.

Nothing like "pitted out" sheepskin.

@B-Man2 & @Jorgeenriqueaguilera -- anytime you need anyone to help put some wear on those jackets, just say the word!

Meanwhile here in Norfolk, England, the unseasonably chilly weather means a vintage mid weight tweed suit and brogues are still in order for the gentleman who does not wish to be constantly clad in military gear, reproduction or otherwise

 

[flyincowboy]

You look so elegant dressed like that sir!
