Hi all. There have been some questions about the USAF flight jackets recently. Here's what we know right now:
CWU-36/P (Summer weight, sage green). There are two sets of NSN's for this jacket. Both sets are for the same model designation (CWU-36/P) and the same MILSPEC (MIL-J-83382). The first set was established in the mid-1970s. Here they are.

The newer ones have more of a matte, OD green finish compared with the older ones which are somewhat shiny and a little bit darker. Here are the new ones.
