I've seen that one at one of our local airfields a couple of times.

What are these covers you speak of? The USAF and by extension CAP wear hats or caps.

ive always heard them as covers both in the air force and CAP

Really stretching to try to make your point aren't you?

Well, there are some folks who just never get the right "word". Cover is a term from the other services, which has been introduced and passed on by CAP members with a history in those services. These members have failed, for whatever reasons, to adapt to the AF/CAP way.

Yea, but I've never seen a Jet near a CAP plane. Around here, we don't even operate out of airports that have jets.

Don't know where you're from, but on Sunday we were on final into our home base with a Lear in front of us, a Falcon behind us, and when we landed, we went to fill her up at the FBO, and out of 20+ planes waiting on gas, we were the only prop bird around.

In my 15,000 hours of flight time, Ive never seen a hat get sucked off and ingested into a C172. :)

In my less than 20 hours Mission Observer time, I've seen hats blown off by a prop, then sucked into a jet engine.  Twice.

Well, I guess I'm doing something right. Of those 15,000 hours, 9000 are jet and I've never had nor seen any FOD- especially from hats.

People are not wearing enough hats to create FOD:

"Meaning of Life" - "People are not wearing enough hats"

Major Lord
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I was hanging out at the observation pavilion next to the runway one afternoon after a Sarex, just watching the planes take off and land.  Both incidents happened on the same day, same airport, about 10 mins apart.  Strong storm was moving in and FBO people were rushing to get some planes moved.  Wind was crazy already but the prop wash sent it flying.  Usually these people would have had hats off at this airport, but I think they were in a hurry so weren't thinking.  Neither incident involved CAP members or planes.

As someone who grew up during the Cold War, it still amazes me to see an F-15 (OR ANG?) on the same flightline with a Bulgarian MiG-29...though of course they carried different insignia back then.



I have found that YMMV is very true in terms of whether or not hats are allowed on the flightline.  I've been in situations where hats were required (including once doing flightline safety) and in situations where it was "no hat no salute."

Like I said before.

He who owns the flight line owns the rules.

Your airport enfoces a no hats policy follow it.  If not then it is up to supervision.

Notice that the Cop is the ONLY person in that photo with a hat. Everyone else (i.e. the maintenance guys) is bare headed.

Okay, other then the cop, who is wearing a hat? Because I sure don't see any hats besides that beret.

The guy with the back pack looks like he is wearing a black ball cap.
