Gus -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Ernie Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re: Nomex or no Nomex --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ernie" <ernest.martinez@oracle.com> Firstly, Arnold doesnt need to wear nomex, he is living tissue over an armor skeleton and in the case of a fire his skin would burn off but he could keep flying. I have to wear nomex underwear due to my love of mexican food, its a little itchy but has kept my outer garments in tact. I dont think my YPA, and other patches would look very good on my Ralph Lauren Nomex polo shirts and slacks (its from his fire rescue line). Women love guys in flight suits, plus at airshows the kids like to get up close to a real life pilot, they wouldnt know it if we werent wearing our way cool flight suits. "No problema dude" If you didnt wear a helmet the best you could do is paint up your headsets, to match that real cool Piper paint scheme you put on your warbird.

    Subject: Osh Kosh Airshow
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jim Griffin" <jgriffint28@cox.net> I just posted some pics from the Saturday show at OSH on the photoshare. I couldn't take any pics on Friday as I was flying my old T-28 in the show but I saw the guys fly overhead, at mid field, at exactly the right time in a giant vic and it was perfect. They had twice as many planes for the Tuesday show and I heard that it was impressive from some of the old big iron warbirders. If you were not there, I'm sorry you missed it.

    Subject: Key West Routes
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "cpayne@joimail.com" <cpayne@joimail.com> Floridian Aviators, I am comtemplating a trip down to Key West with the Missus in the CJ. Point of origin is Lakeland. Looking at the charts I notice 3 Victor airways on the west coast cross a whole lotta water and exit, then re-enter the ADIZ. When I asked my Missus whether she preferred fighting sharks or 'gators, she screamed "Sharks!", so I guess it's the gator route which hugs the shore and stays inside the ADIZ. The stretch along the west coast of the everglades looks mighty barren. The plan is to hop down to Marathon first, then west to KEYW. I remember that airliner that got swallowed whole in the 'glades a few years ago. Is there a better route? Do folks transit to the East coast first and follow the chain of islands out?

Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft.

    Subject: Re: Nomex or No Nomex
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "dabear" <dabear@damned.org> Brian, Just so you know, there will be a maximum life of all Nomex flight suits allowed to be worn at YPA/ARS events. Since Nomex no longer give appropriate protection after 4 washings or exposure to the sun, 1 year or 4 washings is the maximum allowed. Pilots and GIBs will have to provide documentation on the current washing level and purchase date prior to entering the cockpit at a YPA event. This is for your protection. It is not just a YPA rule, it is a good idea. Note: the above message was sarcasm, please treat the message as such.

    Subject: Boston Area
    From: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net> I am going to be frog-hopping my CJ from central Texas up to the Boston area (wearing, of course, my Nomex flight suit for the trip) and will be there from Aug. 16th through about Sep. 4th. I am looking for places/people to visit and possibly fly with on the weekends. I don't have a FAST card yet, but I have about 10 hours of formation training over the past three months flying with the CAF crew out of San Marcos, TX (the Tora, Tora, Tora gang).
