View Full Version : What's on YOUR Christmas list?

Ho, ho, ho....!

Me, I'm asking Santa for a new, solid-state transponder -- which is about as
dull as socks & underwear, but the third digit on mine keeps going wacky
once in while. I *hate* it when ATC thinks I've set my squawk code
wrong...

What are you hoping to find in YOUR stocking on Christmas morn?

A better audio panel than the King KMA-24, a bottle of MacCallans scotch,
and ammo.

That a certain poster will stop posting irrelevant things to the
rec.aviation newsgroups...

Perhaps it is too much to ask.

It is odd that you celebrate Christmas though - given your rantings about
Christians and religions...

How 'bout mogas instead? :-)

(I just checked a couple of days ago -- we've pumped over 2300 gallons out
of the "Mighty Grape" since buying/building it in November 2002. At a
savings of over a buck a gallon, well... It's pretty much like getting a
Christmas present! :-)

Hmm. That's more of a Thanksgiving (wishbone) type wish - shooting star
territory maybe, or perhaps something for a wishing-well.

This is a Christmas list.

"You know, jingle bells and deck them halls and ho ho ho and presents for
pretty girls??"

Stocking stuffer?
Something under the tree ...or next to the Festivus pole?
Something out in the [hangar] wrapped with a big red bow?

Your choice.

Peace on Earth has already been scooped up <g>

Uh, Jay didn't rant (much) about Christians and religions, that was
other folks. He just had a problem with proselytizers well outside the
midwestern norm for genteel casino lunch-eating, was my take.

That kind of sounds like me. I am tempted to tell my wife that I want a
brand new Cessna 172SP fully loaded. Knowing her she would get me one...in a
small cardboard box made out of plastic with a note: "some assembly
required". :-).

Happy Hollidays, everyone. Have fun flying but stay safe.

You're not in central NY by chance, are you? I was thinking of starting a

Heh. Well, I couldn't risk that "naughty or nice" routine, what with our
danged Narco 50AT transponder going on the fritz all last week. So, I
managed to score a used (it was in a plane exactly ONE day!) Garmin GTX-327
transponder on Ebay, for a fair price...

Who needs this Santa dude, anyway? :-)
