I just recieved a gift certificate for an hour in the 767 simulator at Flight Experience from my boss as part of my Christmas bonus. :thumb_up:

WOW man, can I come, can I, hey???????????

Well done Mate, it will be something to really enjoy!

Duplication.

 

Why would you give a pilot updates to ERSA,MAPS etc. He/she would already have them .......eh!...... Nev.

 

 

[shags_j]

I asked for a new pilot bag. Need to keep maps, headset etc. a little more protected.

 

EDIT: I did ask for a cirrus but....

 

 

[slartibartfast]

One of these.

 

I told Garry and he now has one sitting in his office.

 

I want them to add winglets and paint it like mine. Now that's a Christmas present.

 

Wonder if they can put the BBQ in it?

I'm getting about 6 hours in a C182 starting 6am Monday for a week.Will be heading for NSW South Coast.If the WX is good hopefully more than 6 hours will be clocked up.

A few hours plane hire would be nice.

 

 

[Guest Brett Campany]

In my case, anything flying related, a new headset would be nice or how about some hours of instruction so I can get my certification early.

 

That's what I asked for anyway :D

 

 

[pudestcon]

All of the above

 

Except Ersa and charts as I've just updated mine from the shop here.

 

I voted for some hours in the air via dollars to hire an aircraft.

The best Xmas gift for a pilot?

 

Humility!!! I even XXXX (oops, ANNOY) myself off 'cuz I keep carping on about how neat flying is. :ah_oh: :confused: ;)

 

Otherwise, family. A couple of ales, a big feed and chewing the fat with the family for the day. What more could you want? :thumb_up:

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Hey anyone can pay my hangar rent for a year, if you'r really want to spread Xmas cheer. Orrrr... a real nice artifical horizon to put in my plane. Aw hell, how about my own airfield, then I can collect hangar rent instead of paying it, and then I'll have the dough to buy that AH myself !.

 

 

[facthunter]

Money left over.

 

You won't have any after you have paid the liability insurance.. N..

 

 

[Guest Decca]

How about a gift certificate to a nominal value for the clear prop pilot shop?

 

Merry Xmas everyone, Decca.

Some country music cds to listen to while flying.

 

Also a pre-paid rescue with the SAR. That way you don't worry about the costs of getting carried away with the music and running into mountains.

 

NB, This is not meant as a reccommendation for anyone buying a present for pilots other than Bigglesworth.

Yoo trying to provoke?

 

 

[Bigglesworth]

You trying to start something, Student Pilot? :confused:

 

I just went for a flight, and I know what I needed: more music, and less worry about crashing into mountains. Nothing wrong with that is there?

 

Oh, and a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for those who haven't read and memorised it yet.

 

And a towel (see HGTTG)

 

 

[turboplanner]

What's HGTTG?

 

Think I'd just like an acronym book.

 

 

[Bigglesworth]

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, of course.

 

:black_eye::black_eye: LUSER, I'll take a LART to you....

 

PS, us in aviation can give these trendy SMS based twits a run for their money.

 

To us GA is normal, as is RAA, VHF, ERSA, WAC, ad infinitum..... it makes us sound like real professionals.....

 

As does a PEBKAC error....
