Thanks to you and your huey driver bros for some great and exciting rides to/from the shootin' galleries in I CORPS in 1969-70. A moment of reflection for those that never made the round trip. Best, chase

But what about the ones who can't read? Or can't find their glasses/contacts.

They become supervisors, Bob.

Hilarious. I forwarded this photo to the members of my radio control airplane club since the embroidered directions are accurate for a hand-held RC aircraft transmitter. We're always looking for a good set of gloves for winter flying and these'll provide a much needed reminder when the cold slows down our thought processes.

Could be a disaster if you don't know which glove goes on what hand, you'd have to let go the collective to read the glove.

That assumes that an RL3 can read.

It’s all you need to know to fly a helicopter. 😄

Went through many, many pair of these nomex gloves. The leather on the palms got soaked with moisture and then became hard as stone when it dried. Personal equipment guys used to hand out new ones like the were Halloween candy. The made great driving gloves.
