| Bomber / Pilot Jacket Hello everyone, I have been a longtime follower of your website and forum, looking at and downloading aircraft photos, reading information, etc. I am interested in the WW2 era and especially the military aircrafts. I became a member today because I need help from you guys. I am a graphic designer and helping a friend who makes leather jackets with the name of his new line of bomber / pilot jackets. It is a dream project for me but my knowledge in aviation and the era is not enough for me to come up with a name. Can anyone give me suggestions or ideas to come up with a name for this line of jackets? (The name can be in English.) Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion. |

| I was there in 90-91 too. Interesting place. Kinda Eastern/kinda Western, good food and it seemed that everybody smoked. I wish i woulda done some scuba diving there. I'd like to see Istanbul and Troy. I have two carpets from Adana that have held up well. Last edited by comiso90; 10-24-2007 at 03:30 PM. |

| In Izmir, there were young kids running around with scales, small bathroom scales the kind you weigh yourself with. They were asking for money if you weigh yourself... and back then I was skinny! |

| Thanks again everyone!! for your name suggestions and warm welcoming Everything you guys remember from Turkey is still the same Comiso90, my favorite beer is also Efes!!! Cheers Comiso90, I live in Istanbul but was born and raised in Ankara. I, too, have been to Adana and Izmir several times. Actually, I lived in San Francisco, CA for 5 years, from 2000 to 2005. I traveled to LA, San Diego, NY, Vegas, Chicago and done a road trip around Texas. I miss SF so much. After I came back it was a hard time for me. As they say in the song "I left my heart in San Francisco" I am very happy to meet you guys here |
