Igor securing all the safety gear he needed. Igor was also an early aviation badass. He developed some of the first multi engined aircraft in the world, what is recognized to be the first airliner, the first of the Pan Clippers and the first successful US made helicopter. He also test flew those early helicopters himself while rocking a suit, tie and hat. Like a gentleman. His company is still a strong part of the aviation world today with Sikorski helicopters serving both the military and civilian markets.

No Mr. Torchinsky, if you’re going to steal the derelict Russian space shuttles, you are going to need one of these I assure you.

A suit, vest, and a tie was all the Wright brothers needed.

My Sikorsky cap (with an S-92 on it) is one of my most treasured possessions. Had to trade a couple other new hats to get it.
