[Rhodes22-list] inflatable PFD's - Joe a comment

[Tootle]

Joe,

The reason why the Mustang is rated so high is that it is made and designed
for U. S. Navy Flyers...

Maybe a email to Mustang and ask if they have a special version for the lady
fliers?  Good question deserves a good answer.

I use the old fashion orange PDF's when the weather gets too where you
really want something, otherwise a blue one of Class 2 rating.

go overboard you may not be conscious.  Will you have on a working PFD
(personal floatation device)?"   Paraphrased from Harmon Heed
