Description :

Flight Suit - this is the real thing worn by our client as a Phantom fighter pilot. Breast patch for Tactical Command, left shoulder patch for 58th Tactical Fighter Training Wing. Two bars on either shoulder, zip-front closure with 2-way zipper, Velcro waist adjustment w/elastic belt band, a pair of zip breast pockets, pocket with zip on left sleeve, Velcro cuff closures, armpit ventilation holes, thigh pocket w/ zip closure, shin pockets with zip, boot gussets with zip, and hip pockets with through access for pants pockets. It has been worn (some zipper welt wear as well as a bit of wear here and there), but still in terrific condition for that would-be fantasy pilot; we think this was the last flight suit our client wore in the military with the patches still intact and lack of wear seen in his other flightsuits. Size tag states “40” but client was on smaller side - this suit would probably fit females, too. Measures 20" pit to pit, 17.5" side to side at waist, and 55" from shoulder seam to pants hem. 

F-4 Phantom II model kit from Hasegawa Hobby Kits of Japan. Model #TH5:800 60105. Part of the Eggplane series, new in original plastic packaging with directions & decals. 2007.

Anchorage Times Newspaper article from 1981 profiling the unit our client was in. Interesting reading!
