That one's new to me. I search the web all the time for them and I've never come across that one.

I hate to say it but if you do search...

I really seem to remember that it has been discussed on here before. I think they said that the pockets were kind of small?... but for the price a G&B or Magnoli was better.

I'm pretty sure every disciussion I've read about Flightjackets was to tell to people it wasn't Flightsuits, which is G&B. Beyond that, it's a mystery.

They apparently make this Indy likeness in a vintage goathide.

The pocket flaps don't look to be a very SA shape either....

I have a feeling that Indiana G bought one. But either sen it back pretty quickly or sold it.

But my memory is hazy... :)

Thanks _. That explains what seems to be a W+G connection with some items.
He must have changed his Indy jacket pattern, it doesn't too too Wested in the photo.
Their A-2s look OK, but there are probably better options.

Thats the A-2 I mentioned above I believe. I bought it from _ a couple of years ago from Cario Bazzar(if its the same one). I noticed right off the bat,very Eastman/Aero like.

That's a blast from the past. I don't think I've been on that site since the Indyfan days.
