Thank you for wearing the front brim of your hat folded upward. I never really understood why so many (all, it seems) glider pilots would want to restrict their visibility, peripheral vision, upwards. Seems like a foolish, careless thing to do. I have subscribed to your channel! Thanks, T
You’re welcome, but to be honest brim position really depends on where the sun is and how obscured it is due to sky conditions. If it’s a cloudy day and the sun is diffused(like this day), then folding up your brim might make sense. Conversely, if you’re flying in a blue area and blocking out the sun with the brim of your hat folded down reduces glare(ie. increasing the clarity of your vision), then I don’t see anything wrong with doing so. The beautiful thing about fabric is that it’s flexible, giving us a choice. Our heads are also not fixed in place so scanning the airspace around you is something you can, and should, always do regardless of your head adornment preferences.
