Is she nude? Is she packing a gun?

Is she wearing pilot panties?

Speaking of celeb pilots anyone know the disposition of Patrick
Swayze's incident with his Cessna 421?

I watched Letterman one night and Ed Norton was on there talking about his
pilot training and about the King videos.

I knew Jolie had a Cirrus and was a pilot but that is the first photo I have
ever seen of her in action (I'd like to see her in another kind of action as
well!).

Darkwing, you are a weirdo!

Seriously, I think Vogue has something there. Why don't we see captions like
"Richard Collins checking the weather uplink in his P210. Suit: J.C. Penny.
Sunglasses: Rayban."

[Blanche]

I'm more impressed with Annie Liebovitz willing to go flying and
take those photos.

[Denny]

Annie has balls... Look at her body of work over the decades...

I have to say that I am not a film goer, nor do I follow the whack job
celeb circus at all, but Angelina has just gone up considerably in my
ratings... If she can make the PPL rating she has something above her
bust line...

Collins is a celebrity only in his own mind.

She's poorly dressed for an emergency landing.

This is the outfit she should really be wearing while flying:

I dont think there a lot of people out there who go up wearing a Nomex
flight suit, complete with Nomex gloves, and socks; flotation device;
and, survival vest. A lot probably are carrying some kind of first aid
kit, and maybe a survival kit consisting of more than two stale
Snickers bars.

So, the question to the group is . . . what are you carrying?

Compact (comes in a tube / pre-purchased) survival kit
First Aid kit
Basic set of tools
Spare sparkplug
Length of nylon rope
Spare tailwheel tire/tube
When flying over mountainous terrain, cold weather clothes & camping
gear, pistol & ammo (usually have to go over the Cascade mountains in
the Pacific NW to get to where we want to camp, so I'll have camping
gear on-board anyway....).

I have an 1800 cu in daypack for a GO-bag.
Contents include: 2x one-liter Nalgenes; Esbit fuel tab stove; Snow Peak
700 ml Ti cup and spork; individual first aid kit; 5x Luna bars; 5x
cup-a-soup; 10x chrystal light 1-l mix; Katadan Purification Tablets ;
space blanket; OR Basic Bivvy; Leatherman WAVE; hand crank cellphone
charger; Magellan Explorist 300 GPS w/spare batteries; Glacier glasses;
60 ft 5 mm rope; 50 ft Spectracord; 8x12 sill tarp; Thermarest
inflatable sit pad; toilet paper in a 1 pt ziplock freezer bag

Clothing would be what I am wearing, appropriate for conditions. Below
50 F I usually wear long underwear. I always carry a pocketknife,
flashlight, lighter and whistle in my pocket.

I have a separate first aid kit that I carry on long trips. It consists
of 1500 cu in lumbar pack with enough materials to deal with most
emergencies. (No sutures, but I do have a surgical stapler!)

Why, you think there's anyone who hasn't seen her in action?

Yet another unnecessary response to the Troll.

Please don't feed our troll.

Please stop right there.

Go search the archives (google groups if need be).

We've spent hundreds of messages discussing what people carry, or
don't carry, for emergencies and otherwise.

Altho I must admit, the topic is more relevant than "how many hours
to solo..." and variations.

Perhaps, but something sturdy enough to allow one to safely walk
around in a forest, desert, or whatever terrain one is overflying
would probably be a good idea. A linen bedsheet and high heels would
not go very far.

So obviously it's something many people like to discuss, even if you
don't. Nobody is forcing you.

Sounds like safety and preparedness are high priorities for you. How
much weight does all this add to your aircraft, and where do you stow
it?

If she is wearing panties, she's a trendsetter.

Is there anything we're disucssing that hasn't been discussed before?

Yes ...discussing 'things that haven't been discussed before.' :-)

There's also a lot of archives of people saying "stop right there" :-)
It's never worked before. But at least you were polite in your
effort :) ;)

What? It should not be discussed again, ever? There's always new
people and technology and ideas. A good pilot is always learning...

Two liters of water is the heaviest item (2lb/l), daypack weighs 15 lbs.
First aid kit also carries 2-l water, weights 10-12 lbs.
GO-bag is within arms reach in the cabin and should be pulled on prior
to any arrival (if it is not on you, it not is going out the door with
you). First Aid kit can go in the baggage compartment or back seat.
The Go-bag is constantly evolving.

The image of the hiked up skirt reminds me of the reports that women
liked the 70's era Chrysler products because they had an air conditioner
vent beneath the steering wheel.

That's been discussed. But we've never discussed discussing things we've
never discussed discussing before.

I owned a number of (used) Dodge Darts '72, '74, '76, '77.

Darts had two air-vent doors (each bigger than a CD jewel case) mounted
under the dash on the firewall, by the wheel wells. I think around that same
time GM was using those crappy sliding knobs that were built into plastic
vent covers, mounted just in front of the bottom door hinge.

Every year, in a rite of spring, I'd open one of those two Dart vent doors
(for the first time since fall) and get myself a healthy shot of dried out
leaf fragments.... It became sort of a yearly ritual. <g>

The fresh breeze would quite literally blow right 'up your skirt' in those
old Darts. Very refreshing! There was a plastic S-duct, to the outside,
connected (direct) to the Dart's two fresh air boxes. No routing it through
the dash vent system. Again, ...so refreshing, IYKWIM.

Have you had any occasions where any of the equipment has allowed you
to avoid a possible disaster (outside of actual accidents)? Which
parts of your equipment have come in handy most often?

Too much information!!!
The image of Montblack in a skirt driving down the road in a Dodge Dart
with a big smile on his face...

(I had a 68 Dodge Dart, 170 cu in slant six. The airvents were 4"x4x4""
metal boxes with a door. You are correct, they moved lots of air... but
I never wore a skirt!)
