Whomever has the best mustache by the time the module is released, wins a free license (hint hint). I shall forward what my great grandfather ones wrote me, during a harsh, long and cold winter night in the year 1905: Dear Sir, while I fully second the sentiment of growing a proper mustache for the upcoming release of the phantastic phantom, I shall nonetheless allow myself the liberty to reprimand you, kind Sir, that during Movember one does not grow a mustache to get prizes, but to bestow the world with the grant prize of your mustache itself. We shall however graciously forgive you this misstep as hitherto Movember has had barely been started and we can see how this could have lead to a facile oversight, a trap, much like the one we are so proudly cultivating our fine mustaches around. Should however any of you grow a sizeable, phabulous mustache until the release, and be willing to expose their fine contours to the public's judgement on these very forums, we shall indeed bestow a firm pat on your back, as a humble gesture of our approval and utmost respect. Because a true mustache can only ever be grown for the sake of being a magnificent mustache, fine Sir! Please have our dearest wishes and cheers for your growing endeavours! Signed: Pops.

AndyJWest Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Ah, a fine aviation tradition. Lois Bleriot, of Channel Crossing fame. Hard to beat: Sadly this proposal seems to discriminate against female sim-pilots. Accordingly, I suggest we run a parallel competition for the best-dressed aviatrix. They might like to draw inspiration from Harriet Quimby's magnificent purple flight-suit-hoody and lace-up boots combination: For those who don't know her, Quimby was a noted aviation pioneer, and the first woman to cross the English Channel, three years after Bleriot. She met an early demise a couple of months later, as a result of seat belts in aircraft not being invented yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fully capable of growing a mustache. Gone are the days when the patriarchy prevented them from flaunting full handlebars. 1 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

Raisuli Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 You guys are so cruel. I was all the way through flight training, had a slot for F-14s, which was more work than I want to think about, when NAMI came down and wanted a picture of my mustache... Such a bitter pill to swallow. I didn't meet the minimum movie-star looks requirements established by NavPers, either, and ended up disqualified by both groups and out of the flight program. Thank you so much for reminding me of such a traumatic episode in my life... (of course none of that is true, other than the inability to grow a 'stache and the lack of movie-star looks. my (short) Naval career was under the waterline where such things are more tolerated) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
