Let's head this one off at the pass. Snark and COVID arguments will be deleted. Take them to the COVID thread. Otherwise, just answer the question.
taxi1, I can't answer the CFI part, but I do fly, and more importantly, live with a crew for work. Surgical masks is the answer, unless a pax is COVID-positive. Compliance is, of course, a different issue, depending on the location/situation.
Thank you.
Better day for flying today, clear air, cooler and not as humid. I was flying up the Rappahannock River when two C-130’s passed over me. They ended up doing touch-and-goes at the expeditionary airfield at A.P. Hill. Their callsign was “Castle” and I think they are from the DE Air Guard. They certainly weren’t Marines.

A/C Wings Here
East coast Herky squadron would be "OTIS" I'm not up to speed on what the VR call signs are.
All I know is they were Castle 73 and Castle 75 and the paint job was clearly AF.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Yeah, wasn't looking to open up a new line on an argument. I have a need to fly with a pile of students, so not a fixed roster. I read up on AOPA's recommendations for flight schools, curious as to policies actually adopted by civilian CFIs here. DM me directly unless you want to share.
Masks when preferred by the student/client. I wipe down flight controls and over common touch surfaces with a Clorox wipe - but thats it. The majority of flights are without masks.

Not sure what the rest of the fleet is doing, but my particular squadron:
-Maintainers masked unless working alone.
-Aircrew masked for preflight (~50% compliance)
-Aircrew unmasked for flight
The H-60 has a pretty big space between pilots, and we don't have to look at each other to talk, but I think the big wing bubbas are also flying sans masks.

This is me getting ready for a flight with anyone else in the cockpit...
Just kidding. Like @ChuckMK23 said mostly CFI’s and students are practicing common sense.
