signals Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm building a B-1 and going to put crew inside; I'm wondering if B-1 pilots wear a G-suit? Also, can/do different crew members wear a green and tan coveralls at the same time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Boyer Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I don't know about colors, but you realize that you won't be able to see the crew when your model is finished, right?😊🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Da SWO Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I think it would be rare for the crew to mix Flight Suit colors as the colors are theater specific (CentCom=Tan). This YouTube video show flight suits, and no G-suit. . Edited March 28 by Da SWO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) If looking for figure variations, here's one which wasn't asked about, Flying B-1 bombers is a family affair affair for Air Force Majors Lauren and Mark Olme and their child on the way By Johnny Dodd Published on March 1, 2023 12:20PM EST Quote Lauren, 33, was back in the cockpit during the second trimester of her pregnancy thanks to a new Air Force policy that allows female pilots to fly — and, most importantly, keep their skills sharp —during a period when they would otherwise be stuck on the ground. Quote "I stayed in the normal flight suit that was just a size bigger until my coworkers started telling me that I was stretching the bandwidth of it, so I got a maternity flight suit with a little bit more room in the belly area," says Lauren, who plans on returning to flight "ready to rock and roll" after her 12-week maternity leave. https://people.com/human-interest/real-life-top-gun-pilots-are-married-pregnant-real-life-love/ Edited March 28 by southwestforests Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnEB Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I actually flew in a B-1 when I was a reporter after being assigned to a B-1 base for a few years. So I can give a pretty good answer...no, I never saw anyone in a G-suit. Anti-exposure suits, sure when crossing the Atlantic. For my flight, I just wore my own (private purchased from a surplus store) green Nomex suit and a CWU-36P summer weight jacket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BWDenver Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Well, if you're going to the trouble of interior lighting.... How about some lounge chairs.... The attached shot is from WEBBER, a following in production of ACES II seats. Not sure if the seats cushions are operationally red....
