I've seen those, and they look like real life savers in some conditions like unrecoverable spins or bad engine failures. One was deployed not to long ago at Mt. Comfort, an airport I was based at for a while.Leadeye, have you seen those small airplane safety parachutes??? I have seen on the news that several of these have actually worked on engine failures.
Standby flight instruments are the iron sights of aviation
I remember one flight, tac had me pull breakers for all onboard avi. We had the student pilot rtb from myrtle beach and land at mcas new river near midnight with a black cockpit. His only reference was comms, runway/vector lights and sfd.My instrument instructor was very demanding that students learn partial panel. He carried small covers in his pocket and gradually removed instruments during training.
My experience with patients who have had a sternotomy is minimum 6 weeks restrictions from anything that may flex the sternum and no front seat auto riding (in case of accident airbags can really **** up a healing sternum), 3 months moderate activity restrictions and if the sternum is well healed resume normal pre-surgical activity. YMMV and every surgeon tweek to their own experiences.Well at least I get some turkey time in this year through patience0830's pictures. Haven't talked to the doc yet about what this surgery is going to do to my shooting high recoil guns.

I should have said 'Rusty normal'. I've never run with the crowd as well. Viva le differance!I appreciate the condolences. But I’ve never been normal. And I don’t want to be normal. Normal sucks.
Calling anyone in this group normal would be an insult….I should have said 'Rusty normal'. I've never run with the crowd as well. Viva le differance!

I agree. We can keep your stuff at my house.AND .... does anyone listen to me ?
I have a good gun safe. But, I still think that it's wise to keep some items off-site.
