I went through taco bell drivethrough tonight in bags, and the girl asked me if I was in "pilot school". I think she thought I fly cessnas and thought wearing the bag made me cool. Apparently my cool Hornet shoulder patch is on the wrong side. Evidently I haven't been flying them long enough, as I didn't break out into instinctive hand flying gestures or a "goddamn you I'm a fighter attack guy"
I also had more than a couple folks at the NKX airshow (while I was in bags) ask me if I was a maintainer. Even the folks on base who do realize that I fly, automatically assume I'm a "helicopter copilot". I guess young looking guy = maintainer or helo pilot.....sorry helo friends, I mean this as no disrespect.
