Now gone to the old Air Force winter flight jacket... moth eaten cuffs an' all.

What're we callin' Military Airlift Command these days? :wink:

Dude, where's your pea coat?

Air Mobility Command (AMC), Nothin' to do with Ramblers (the car, not the people who wander).

Dude, where's your pea coat?

Did I mention "Air Force"?? Them squid coats ain't what we wuz wearin'. This is a funny green color, REALLY orange when inside-out... tho th' Navy flyboyz had some leather ones to envy. :laugh:


Yeah, Bryan... I was 'attached' to MAC, outfit was Aerospace Audio Visual Service... when we'd show up at someplace and explain we were th' "avis" guys some smeartbutt would invariably say: "We have enuff cars, we got a motor pool".

*sheesh* The more things change... :smirk:

 

[scoutll]

They were called MA-1 Jackets Doc.. I got a couple of ole fray sleeved ones myself.
Old white hat LE troop here. I was assigned to MAC at good old "No Hope Pope" AFB in NC in the late 70's. I liked MAC and ATC the best of all the stateside commands I was assigned to. Of course, there's nothin like overseas to me.

Heat wave of -2 right now. Evening temps have been in the -27 to -35*F range for the last week. If this keeps up I may have to buy a winter coat.

I got one'of 'em frum a buddy. The 'lastic kinda stretched 'round the bottom. He was AF in the early 60's. I thought you said you had a pea coat that was issued to you, 36R, right? I fig'red you wasa Navy guy w/ that.

vintagetrends.com has some leather ones you was a'talkin' about. They gotta cool one w/ some patches....but one patch is a BUTTERFLY and it's on the FRONT !!! Sorry, kinda takes the buzz right out it.

No matter how I talked myself into wanting it...that freakin' butterfly kept killin' my buzz.

44* here at 1am, with it forecast to continue downward to a predicted 37*...not quite freezing, but definitely NOT what we are accustomed to about these parts!! :eeek:

South Florida Coldest in a decade

 

[DrEntropy]

Didn't need t' see that. :shocked:

BOTH me typin' digits is numb. Proof enuff fer me.

 

[tony barnhill]

Warning of 4-degrees Saturday am...1-5 inches of snow projected! Not supposed to happen here....its only in 50's down on the coast.

 

[Basil]

I just heard in the radio this AM that parts of New MExico will be bracing for some record low temps later in the week.

 

[tony barnhill]

Well, by the weekend there won't be any milk, breda or water on the grocery shelves around here....that's what the locals all stock up on when snow is forecast!
