Quote: Old wives tale...plenty of corporate pilots have beards. The Navy allowed beards in the '70s...the trick is to trim it carefully around the edges.

But I suppose a beard would burn quite nicely if it were O2 saturated...
You are correct - they did - but did that apply to aviators? from the cruise books I saw - it was noly the enlisted sailors. I'm not even sure if I saw any officers with facial hair. I've seen some pretty impressive moustaches though on det/deployment
