Tim,

I've lived here for the last 8 years: my view is that the Whackos tend to be evenly distributed across the political spectrum.

Unlike the Pelican Board.

Well, you'd be proud of me: I recently bought both a Garmin 296 and an RC Allen Electric Attitude Indicator (for safety purposes only, I know it's not required by 91.205 for VFR) to go in my airplane so I could take a trip, VFR, to Michigan this week during the convention. That big fat cold front from the Oklahoma Panhandle to Nova Scotia put the kibosh on that, unfortunately. MVFR conditions across my route of flight, not to mention the TFR's from Dick Cheney's bus tour and the Blue Angels/Golden Knights up at IAG.

I know you're an A&P, are you also an IA?

[Apologies for pilot-speak to the rest of the thread.]
