I commissioned this several years ago from the awesome Leafy while at Anthrocon. I've always adored how the tail frames the badge, and this remains among my favorites.
I'm in a jumpsuit in this. I wasn't really all that specific about the clothing, I just wanted a badge that made it clear my character had an involvement with aviation, and this ended up fitting the bill perfectly. Personally, I'm not a pilot or parachutist, but my character is a pilot and as such did undergo training - and being the fun-loving risk taker he tends to be, loved every second of it. It has since become a hobby of his.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I am! Losing a lot of weight too! Getting around to scanning in a ton of art I've gotten from cons over the years right now too. I'll be uploading a good chunk of it tonight. I still go to Anthrocon every year and am pretty active in the community among my friends and Steam anyway, I'm just pretty quiet on FA. Really ought to interact here more.
So of course that'd be a parachute on his back! If he's a pilot-type, he'd need one to escape certain death and return to the ground safely--but I don't think it's every day a sensible pilot takes up jumping out of planes as a hobby! Sure, it's a great idea, and I'd love to see more of him in that capacity, but I just find the idea of a pilot enjoying danger a little odd.
In all seriousness though, your character looks great! I'm not terribly involved with this fandom myself. I'm just a lurker, and the only real OC I have is a female Arctic Fox skydiver by the name of Angel, who I haven't done anything with since I'm a terrible artist, but hey, at least I'm around regularly!

Well, he's not the type to go seeking danger on his job. He's all business with that. There's a difference between professional time and free time. ;) Also there's a difference between somewhat of a risk taker and outright reckless. To be more specific, he's a military pilot (in a science fiction setting). Being in a military organization at all (as the character is) is a risky sort of proposition, especially in war time (which during part of his story, it most certainly is war time).
So really, it isn't necessarily odd! People get their endorphins from all sorts of things. ;) And like I said, risk doesn't necessarily mean an outright reckless sort of danger. ^^
But yeah, I may or may not do more with him in that capacity. To be honest it's not a HUGE part of his character. More of an occasional side hobby than an obsession. His chief interest is flying. And everything to do with flying. ;)
