What do YOU want for Xmas?

As usual, that's the question I'm hearing from relatives. Also as usual, I
have no friggin' clue what to tell them -- I need nothing.

Therefore, it's time to open the topic up to the opinions of this newsgroup.
What do *you* want for Xmas this year? What's the latest, greatest,
coolest, must-have aviation thing that I should want under my tree this
year?

I'll list a few things that I'm not likely to receive, just to get the ball
rolling:

1. XM weather for my Lowrance 2000c (According to Lowrance, this is
supposedly "in the works" and "to be ready to roll out at Sun N Fun '06")

2. A new faceplate for my Narco CP-136M audio panel (yes, I'm STILL looking
for one...)

3. A DVD recorder that will let me quickly and easily transfer 15 years of
home movies onto DVD....

Can you add to the list? What do *you* want for Christmas?

An airplane. Any airplane ... well, anything but a low-wing ... unless
it is a Bo! :-)

I thought he wanted a turbine Mooney...

....which would then make possible me finding *his* Ercoupe in *my* driveway,
with a big red bow wrapped around it.

For enough AMU's, you can find my Ercoupe in your driveway.... :-)

Yup, it should be AMU's, not APU's. Dang Alzheimer's???

One gizmo that our eldest daughter and her husband gave me a while back is a
LED head-band flashlight, which is very comfortable to wear under the
headset. Should the lighting fail at night, it provides excellent
illumination on the panel. It is also a very convenient hands-free light
for refueling our C172 in the dark. Highly recommended.

Happy Holidays!

I use mine all the time. Got one made by Energizer for $13. It has a one red
LED and two white (not at the same time of course). Petzl makes them as well
but at over twice the price and you can't even angle the beam. Bought mine
at Target.

A must for any pilot who flies at night IMO.
