On a light note

[Moosehead]

Personally, I would never consider wearing a kilt whilst flying. Having had a cockpit fire before, even wearing nomex, my legs were badly singed.

I'll have to ask my FIL if he's ever had a cockpit fire, not counting his two tours in 'Nam.

Moosehead, just pull your kilt hose up--wool has a very high burn temp.

As a follow up to my kilted visit to air traffic control one of the female flying instructors said she had flown while wearing a skirt and high heels so there was absolutely no reason why I couldn't fly kilted. Yesterday I was taking Ann out for a meal after flying so thought I would give it a try; would save taking a change of clothes with me. Getting in and out of a Piper Tomahawk in the kilt was absolutely no problem; the only potential problem was wearing brogues which don't give as good a grip for climbing in and out as do training shoes.
