I wonder if there's a Christmas curse on vacuum pumps?

Or at least a holiday curse. I just lost one flying a Cessna 207 on New
Years Eve. (yesterday). VFR though, so no big deal, but even VFR, it still
drove me bonkers every time I glanced down.

Un-nerving isn't it. I had an AI fail on take off no less. Now that
would have been scary had I been taking off into minimums.
Fortunately, like you I was VFR at the time.
