Well good luck Fireflyr.  Hope to see you out there.
Well thanks Chuckar, hope to swing by Panaca on party night so we can celebrate at the local saloon----BWAAAHAHAHA ;D
I know, I know, a really hot party night in Panaca is when some guy's 5 wives all paint their toenails the same color and he doesn't remember whether the one he slept with was his daughter or his sister!

As soon as I had my ppl license I took a jeans jacket and put on some patrouille suisse badges. But, actually, I feel quite embrassed about going to the airport with the jacket on....looks a little bit like "top gun addicted" or well, you know.......a little bit too much.
I resolved on wearing the jacket when I'm not flying!

:-\ Know what you mean, one of my sons gave me an expensive goatskin flying jacket adorned with all kinds of patches and wings which if I wear it to the airport will surely draw strange comments so I only wear it on low profile non aviation occasions ;)

A pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's around airplanes, and airplanes when he's around women.

I see the point. I also received the CPT strips, but they rest in a box, history over.
But, on the contrary, the jacket was a super thing when I had to do some oral exams at university. I went there with the jacket and it was quite usual to get the question "are you pilot?". And you know, you start chatting about flight and time goes by and there is just a little left for thougher law questions!! Good thing let the profs bet and lose large quantities of time!!

Flying offshore and other commercial duties our pilots (captains) were supposed to wear the four stripes. The Indian pilots had an attitude to be very proud of being a Captain. Some even introduced themselves with: “My name is Captain ...”

We also had a bar in the staff-house, ran by engineers. So there was the rule: no four stripes at the bar. A Captain had time to remove the stripes before ordering the first drink. If he ordered with the stripes on, there was the rule he had to pay a drink for everybody at the bar. You may consider in such a case all of us ordered the most expensive drink.  ;D

So with this we could educate all “Captains” on the spot because strangely enough those “Captains” are very greedy too.  ;)
