Blue Flight Suit?

But I've "heard" of others with different stories, as they tend to recycle both the bottles and the caps, and not necessarily sanitizing the latter.

Ever try the Egyptian Beer with formaldehyde in it?...or so the urban legend goes. You'd pay whatever it costs for a San Miguel (or Primo) if you had to drink that stuff.

Not Egyptian, per se, but plenty of SE Asian beer or beer from S. America. There's a fair amount of pickling agent in there, as well. Really does a number on you the next day.

Nothing like an ice cold Efes after a hard day at ONW. The Champagne of Bottled Dishwater! (Plus a little formaldehyde...)

I personally never had a problem either in the PI .....But I've "heard" of others with different stories, as they tend to recycle both the bottles and the caps, and not necessarily sanitizing the latter.

That's why we always used to "wipe" the bottle mouth. But that probably wouldn't do much good. Most lower GI tract "stories" emanate from the crap that guys eat from sidewalk kiosks while staggering back to the ship --- judgment failure.

Again, no problems ever experienced with San Miguel except for the occasional hangover. They -- Filipinos --- actually have a lot invested in their food industry --- and industrial food production in the PI is pretty good today. I use a lot of PI manufactured food products on a regular basis --- no problems, ever. San Miguel is pretty decent beer.

But No Baluts, either ... don't go there.

Every squadron has some type of sh!t hots...I thought that was just common. I know VAW 115 has their stripe all the way down the leg. We call it the Speed Racer.

I've resurrected this thread as I think I found the winner. Yellow bags and white shoes. Catmando, confess....you're in this pic somewhere. Apparently taken in 1975.

^^^Flight suits or leisure suits? Are ya sure it isn't a bunch of used car salesman taking a pic in front of a cool aircraft?

At first glance I thought it was the Japanese National Ping Pong Team.

there was an instructor at the HT's that wore a bright red flight suit a few Fridays ago. I wish I had a picture the thing was awesome. At first I thought he was a dude from crash/salvage in the fire engine red poopy-suit. And then he turned around and I realized who it was. I think he got quite a few comments from other instructors. Not sure if they were good or bad comments though...

I'm happy to announce that adult beverages are still the tradition at many fly-ins. All is not lost from the "good ole days."

My first fly in from cruise at Miramar. We stopped beyind the gun butts...out of sight of the tower and hangar 3, safed our seats, took off our gear and helmet, combed our hair...and got handed 2 beers after shutting down one engine and cracking the canopy. Then we cruised in en masse to the hangars on number one alone...got all lined up and shut down at the same time, popped the canopies and got out...road soda in hand to meet the ladies.:icon_wink Get the drip pans and speedie dry ready was the battle cry.

ahhh yes, the good old days.

Hey is there an Elvis sighting in here?

Wow...all they are missing is the face paint and the red hair...

I'm not so sure the orange suit has the apeal it once did. Our standard E&E briefing concludes with..."Lastly, if Hajii hands you an orange jumpsuit, refuse to put it on."
