Not much to see in Kiel. It's my birth place, but I have to admit that due to massive "refurbishments" from '41-'45, the city is lacking any character.
Go to Lübeck instead!
Visit the famous Café Niederegger: https://www.niederegger.de/geschichte/ Eat some Marzipan! First made in Germany in early 1400, this soft candy of almonds and sugar is as German as it gets, and Niederegger is by far the best!
Take pictures of the Holstentor: Lübeck's most famous landmark - is the symbol of the Hanseatic League's heyday, when Lübeck was the richest city in the Baltic region in the 14th century. https://museum-holstentor.de/index.php?seid=1274
Take a walk through the old town...it's definitely worth it:

The Hospital of the Holy Spirit (Heiliggeisthospital) and the Seafarer's Guildhall (Schiffergesellschaft) are impressive, too!
Have fun!

The one and only Pancho Barnes. And btw, quite a cast of characters, if not legends in their own right, on that photo, apart from Pancho Barnes and Chuck Yeager - from left: Jack Ridley, Ike Northrup, Pete Everest, P. Barnes, Chuck Yeager and Clarence "Bud" Anderson. Gus Askounis at the keyboard.Yup, that one:

Tried on my G-1s and M-422as today, for fun. Still not cool enough to actually wear a flight jacket.

This poncho Barnes is so cool, I love the shape of those lapels.
How does it wear unzipped?

Managed a couple of hours last evening in my GW RW-23380 at a friends barbecue. No pics but it was great to be back wearing it as the temperature dropped away. It felt good to be out of the, er, rain heat....

The short answer is, a little lop-sided.
The extreme cross-zip means that when the jackets open, one side hangs down further than the other.
