pararaftanr2 Posted July 28, 2020 Share #37 Posted July 28, 2020 Franco, Looks like he just stepped out of a time machine! Great pose on the mannequin too. Stay well my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted July 28, 2020 Thaanx for appreciating Owen, yes some years back then were needed - in current times it would be different as for some aspects of gathering the stuff, or maybe not... who does know. Anyway one of the most difficult to be put together, only another jet age pilot has been a more lengthy matter, it's a high-altitude Soviet interceptor in stratospheric attire. Would like very much showing it but it's out of topic and of course, non-US item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #39 Posted July 28, 2020 @Paul, always too kind - thanx very much. Curiously this K-2B flight suit (here being at the edge of phasing out in US servicing as the newer Nomex-made CWU-27/P will start arriving in 1969) started being license-made about 1967 by Roma-located, italian 'Giusti' firm - 98% the same thing. One difference, in the Italian item the light grey colour never changed through about 13 - 14 years while the US-made one has passed thruogh many shades of different hues. Here the K-2B suit on my italian F-104 guy. Aside for a German-made Life Vest, all the rest is either straight from the USA or Italian-made after US patterns.

BlueBookGuy Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #41 Posted July 28, 2020 Yes I had done - not exactly that one, anyway a 85% similar Polish Air Force high-altitude interceptor pilot from early 1980s. https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/315963-polish-air-force-full-size-mig-21-pilot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
