Ohh okay you're right there with Piper.  I'm not down there often but this winter am going to be making the move to a Jet FO for a charter outfit that finds itself at PBI, FXE and the bahamas often.

No idea when I start but I've gone through the meet and greets and am just waiting for a vacancy.  Nobody's quittin! (a good sign)

Any rate...I'll be down in FL pretty frequently and am always looking for good lunches :)

You sending your stuff to Tiffin Aire?  They've got a heck of a prop shop there.

I have been using Banyon out of FXE for my Prop work, I don’t know who my friend/AP IA sent the MP/FP unit out to.

I have been using the down time (waiting on parts) to organize the hanger (clean it up) as it has been raining a bunch this week it seemed like a good time to do it.

I have a set of Pilot brand PA-1779T DNC headsets and I love them.  I have spent a lot of time in David Clarks, and those are good, but not as comfortable and more expensive.

The Pilot brand have active noise reduction, an internal rechargable battery (very convienient compared to others) and provide excellant audio.

If you shop around you should be able to get them for just under $400.

Here is a site:

Dago,

That headset seems pretty neat.  Lots of features, although I can't help but wonder why the heck they needed a cellphone jack specifically for use in the intl space station...  Good earcup seals will be critical as usual.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

To order space pizza I suppose.   :)

No complaints about the earcup seals here.

Have used them with radial engine airplanes, and flying the Piper Apache and the ANR makes quite a differance.

I use the jack to plug in my I-pod or CD player, I have the LightSpeed ANR headset and really like it.
