USAF museum party suits?

Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:14 pm

Hey there,

Can you be a bit more specific on where they are located? is this a
temporary exhibit there? Looking for anything particular.. close ups
or several in a shot?

I'm heading down that way this weekend, hoping to get their either
friday or sat... If I get there I'm happy to snap some for you..

Wha...?

Thu Oct 26, 2006 12:31 am

OK, I gotta ask - what are "party suits"? Slang for flight suits? First time I've heard that term...

Party suit's stem from the SEA period, and continue with the PACAF unit's in Korea today ...

They are custom made or taylored flight suit's made in the squadrons colors and at least in the Vietnam era adorned with various patches relative to that time frame ..

The trend started at Thakli RTAFB in or about 1966/67 ..
