NOTE: Flight Suit is NOT Vietnam Era, it belonged to a Vietnam Era (through the 80’s) combat fighter pilot
This item is an EXTREMELY RARE, authentic, vintage US Air Force (USAF), Vietnam Era Fighter Pilot, combat used/showcased, model #27/P, Nomex flight suit. This flight suit is extremely rare as it showcases this fighter pilot’s career, to include his multiple Vietnam era combat missions. The stars on the sleeve represent flight and combat hours flown. 500+ non-combat ‘fighter’ flight hours are designated with a silver star, while 500+ combat ‘fighter’ flight hours are designated with a gold star. This flight suit displays 9 silver stars which shows this Colonel has flown 4500+ non-combat hours, with a single gold star for an additional 500+ combat hours! These flight suits are rarely (if ever) released by the owner. In addition, this flight suit displays the vintage (rare) plastic encased Colonel (O6) metal rank. The interior tag displays the size as ’38R’. Any measurements and/or tags are only for reference, and should not be your final decision for purchasing. No further measurements available.
