Oakley Factory Pilot

[Dr.Death34]

Hello everyone,
I'm just getting started with my collection and have some general questions. I just ordered a pair of original eye shades and was also looking at the heritage edition ones and saw that some said Factory Pilot.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Factory Pilot means? I have seen this all over Oakley, on sunglasses, on apparel, etc. My basic question is, What is Factory Pilot?

thanks
