I'm with you Jay. 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.

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!!!!!
