Howdy all!!
Does anyone know if Tanker Coverall's come in the ACU pattern? I've seen Flight crew coverall's in that pattern, and was just wondering if tankers have the same thing.
Thanks!!

Haven't seen any tanker overall in them yet. I believe they are only in the regular uniform pattern, and the new ACU flight suit.

Yes, there is a tanker's Nomex version of the ACU. Some of the soldiers here were walking around displaying them last fall.

I stand corrected (well seated anyways). Do you have any pics Rob? It would be interesting to see if they differ any from the standard OD Green Nomex uniform.

That link should take you to the Army Times 360° view of the aviator and tanker ACU Nomex suits. You may need to be a registered member of Army Times.com in order to use that functionality.

Guess I don't get to see it. Pic in the article comes up as the dreaded Red X. Link to the 360 view requires a password, which I don't have. Oh well. Guess I'll keep my eyes peeled fro them.
