<avgas from a line-bug> I don't know how the (probably immoral) habit of snipping a shirttail on first solo came from, but the tradition in the USAF is to throw the miscreant into a convienient pool. Back in my CAP cadet days, a bucket of water acted as an allowable substitute. Besides, military pilots wear flight suits---- ever try to snip the shirttail of a flight suit?????
