more protection than cotton every time. In any sort of crash or in flight emergency you need all the help you can get to give you those extra few seconds to egress - fire or not.

I wish I could find it, but I did read an article a few months ago about a guy who says a nomex suit did save his life for that very reason. If I can find it I'll post it here.

It's no good wishing you'd spent those extra few dollars on the right flight gear when it's too late.

Fly Warbirds!
