Thunderbird F4 Pilot assistance needed

Hi Scale Folks,

I am looking for good color images of the F4 pilots flight suit when they flew with the Thunderbirds. I have been using google, but either I find black and white pics, or mostly F16 pilot information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Jeff

Have you tried contacting the Air Force directly? I've found the military to be helpful with questions like this that don't include anything that could be considered classified. The Air Force Public Affairs office would be where I would start and, if I'm wrong, they would be able to give you the office you would need to go to for further assistance

Take this with a grain of salt as I am pulling from memory but I recall the F-4 Thunderbird flight suit as being a medium blue.

This got me going down memory lane a bit here. Growing up on Air Force bases was a great experience especially being at the military air shows in the 70's. After doing a bit of searching I did find a couple pictures.
