This thing ain't on auto-pilot, son!
The Engineer on piloting his Sentry Gun

The Barnstormer is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It replaces the Engineer's default hardhat with a dark team-colored aviator hat, complete with brown leather flight goggles and loose straps, and gives him a black moustache.

This item has two styles, named "Bugscreen Up" and "Bugscreen Down". The "Bugscreen Up" style puts the flight goggles up on the Engineer's forehead, while "Bugscreen Down" puts them down, covering his eyes and welding goggles.

The Barnstormer was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
