I have a Brietling vintage pilot's chronograph sitting upstairs unused now for over 40 years. It's heavy, I have to wind it, and it's always a possible loss of thousands of dollars if misplaced or stolen. Pilots just don't need these anchors on their wrist any more; not with modern time technology. I have a digital that keeps absolutely perfect time. I think it cost me 20 bucks years ago. DH But Dudley, the fancy "pilot watch" is part of the uniform (costume?) You can't call yourself a real pilot if you don't have The Watch. You know, one of those expensive, multi-faced hunks of unobtanium with a built in ELT that makes women swoon and lesser pilots envious. That's what the stuffed Teddy Bear I always carried with me was for. :-)) Teddy Bears!!?? We don't need no stinkin' teddy bears!! Speak for yourself!! That darn bear attracted more gorgeous women than I could shake a stick at. I mean it was absolutely"cruel" how helpless and totally in my power and under my manly spell these beauties became when they saw the bear. YES SIR!!!....he was all powerfull....all potent......and girls swooned at the very sight of him. Mothers would raise their hands and cover the eyes of their beauty queen daughters lest they cast a chance glance upon his furry face. He was everywhere.....a furry legend in his own time. So powerful was his magic spell, that throughout the air show and flight test kingdom, he was simply known and referred to reverently as, "The Bear"!!!! Nuff said. My wife has forbidded me to discuss the bear with you any further lest you become enchanted and have to go out tonight looking for your own Bear!!!!! -- Dudley Henriques |
