Title: Can someone help me with a Flight Gear Queston?
Post by: muckmaw on October 25, 2002, 12:53:02 PM

I'm not getting much direction here.

I've never been in the Military, but was asked by a museaum I volunteer at, to be a "Contumed Interpreter".

Basically, it means I dress up in the flight gear of an A-10 pilot and tell people all about the aircraft.

So here's the question, and I can't seem to get anyone form the museaum on the phone. (I work on weekends)

What do you put on first?

Flight Suit
G-Suit
Harness
Survival Vest

Is that the order?

I was wearing the G-suit over the Harness, and I think it's wrong. Now I have a survival vest....where the hell does that go?

Meanwhile, rest assured, I have the GLoves, Boots and Helmet figured out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Gee, I wonder if he mentions that he is not an actual A-10 pilot to any hotties that come by....I sure hope not..I wouldn't:cool:

That would make a good Halloween costume...can you take it home?

Sure. Most of the equiptment is mine. I never got my chance to fly USAF so this is as close as I can get.

Last week, I wore the suit home and asked my wife if she wanted to play Top-Gun. She stopped laughing about 3 days later.

It's alot like playing Santa Clause. Kids see you, and their eyes open wide. I'll admit, I tell some stories, but I always wink at the parent so they know I'm just an actor.

P.S. Anyone know where I can get a good USAF pilot helmet on the cheap? The museaums is falling apart.

Flight Suits, helmets, etc....lots of stuf to drool at.  Ive spent SO much money there  LOL

Also, US Cavalry has some neat para-military stuff...I have a harnass and some other equipment from them that I use when I did search n rescue flying with the Civil Air Patrol.

Enjoy

I believe you have it in the correct order.  Check on the web for a National Guard unit web site and ask them. There is one A10 unit in Louisianna.
