Let’s see some more flight suits.    Here are two examples of direct embroidered flight suits. Both of these are from the Desert Storm era.     

Wow, that picture of him as well is just fantastic.

Amazing! Every year there's a great thread on here specifically for Goodwill finds around Halloween. This is the best one yet! Any close up pics of the crusher?

. Hi Kevin.   Nice anecdotes thanks for sharing.   You mentioned two items which brought to mind things that happened to me. in the area of Stonehenge .  Back in the early 90's I was motoring along at some speed in my red BMW along country lanes with twists and turns  when I realised that one of the Apaches probably from the Army Middle Wallop training school was shadowing all my twists and turns along the road for several miles, using me as a ' moving target '   The second was passing with sight of Stonehenge one sunny afternoon after a rainstorm and looking at the circle of stones the most glorious rainbow was ending inside the circle of stones, but I had no area on the narrow road that I could pull over and grab a shot of it, possibly a once in a lifetime event.     Norman D.

. Hi Mikie,   reminds me of that old story of the guy who goes to see his doctor to find out how much longer he would live,   John.  Hello doctor could you give me an idea of how much longer I have. Doc.  Well John it all depends on your health and lifestyle,  Do you often eat succulent rib-eye steaks. John.  No I don't doctor Doc.  Do you often enjoy an evening drinking a nice carafe of red wine watching the sun go down John.  No I don't doctor Doc.   after a meal do you enjoy a nice Cuban cigar as the evening passes by John.  No I don't doctor. Doc.  Do you chase good looking women around town. John. No I don't doctor Doc.  Do you often eat several nice soft squidgy sugar glazed doughnuts John.  No I don't doctor   Doc.   Well what on earth do you want to live longer for . . . . . . . . . . .  yes it's an old one, and often heard before but some truth to it.  !!!   Norman D.

Dang, need to rewatch that one, haven't seen it in nearly 2 decades.

I saw the auction but sadly forgot to place a bid. Nice piece. 

The end of an era and beginning of a new one.
