Helmet cover...

[O-B-1]

My lady has been making helmet covers for horse riders...

So I thought... Hmmm... I want one.

I am commissioning her to make a helmet cover for my half helmet. It will be black with red trim. The Mohawk will be red (yes, I said Mohawk) and will extend into a tail on the back, extending downward. The red trim shall have four black Maltese crosses, either total or four on each side.

I am doing so to commemorate my 14 years of service in the USAF, as an avionics technician for the U-2 Dragon Lady and SR-71 Blackbird aircraft. The black & red with Maltese crosses are the colors that flew on the tails of those aircraft. Also, I like to be a tad nonconformitive...

Well......  that should do it then I suppose.

We went to the reunion at the old Church this weekend. To get there, you
have to drive down  a long narrow very curvy road that is only wide enough
for one car about half the time. Then, up a long gravel road to the top of the
hill, there's the church and graveyard.

There was a guy at the reunion with a blue mohawk tipped with
red.

Nice, look forward to some pics!

And very jealous of your prior work, I had an adolescent obsession with the SR-71 (As in at one point I could rattle off the tail number of all known planes, which ones had been lost where and how, etc off the top of my head. And the BBS I ran in the 1980's was named Beale AFB in honor of those planes.)

I too am jealous! Always loved the SR-71.
Went to the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio a few years back,
and stood next to and under a Blackbird and just stared...
thanks for the memory,
Craig

The SR 71 is one of my favorites as well...............
