I heard it's not because of the bag

YOU HEARD WRONG. I don't wear a bag, but my ACU pants and T-shirt do smell of A/C funk. It's probably left over from you.

Who said anything about your pants and shirt? It's because of your bag!

And I thought the body powder worked. Well your significant other never complained! :icon_wink

On a related note, wear different gloves for preflighting than you do for flying.

I don't use them anymore, but I kept a set of Mechanix gloves in my helmet thru flight school. They got soaked in gas/oil/hydraulic fluid, saving my flight gloves. I'd run them thru the wash and then air dry them if they were really bad.

I own about 5 pairs that I do that with. They get filthy so fast being a mech/ electrician. It seems that the finger tips wear out fast too.

Could the same shuttle be used for both launch bars and bridels?

Or longer if it takes you longer.

When you get there, they will tell you. If you don't get there, why worry about it?

 

[brownshoe]

I believe that’s A4’s waving. Skeeterman is next in the groove!:icon_wink

Your head must have been stank. I much prefer my X-Liner. j/k.



Stupidish question...What's everybody's preference for pub lunchbags? I'm about 10 flights out from RIs (granted, that's like 16 weeks these days) so I'd like to get a good bag that will last a long time. Everything that Sporty's has are enormous "bigger is better" bags. Marv Golden has one pub bag that looks promising and it's pretty cheap(just as Marv Golden usually is).
