What a beautiful woman.

Anyone know the purpose of those large flaps on the pilot pants are for?

They're jodhpur, riding pants that keep things from getting hung up on your feet while letting you move easily at the hips. They were popular with early pilots who were often calvary men and became a fashion and were useful in early open cockpit planes.
