Definetly get a helmet. If you land off airport a head set won't help you much!


Hello guys,
:
: this is something that has been bugging me quite a while.
: I always read with much interest the safety articles in E
: AA Warbirds, and have come to the conclusion that you inde
: ed needed to dress properly when flying a Warbird. I alwa
: ys put pants (non-nylon) with cottons socks and leather sh
: oes, and when going to a fly-in/airshow, I put the whole c
: hebang of flight suit, boots (actually work boots), chute
: if I'm alone (I only have one certified, am planning to ge
: t another one this spring) and nomex gloves (this reminds
: me I need a new pair!). When flying over water or using a
: n aiport that'll have me taking-off or landing over water,
: there's a flotation device with me in the plane.
:
: Now the question. Should I get myself some worthy flight
: boots and a helmet? What do you guys put on when flying i
: n your Warbird?
:
: Ollie, confused!
