If money were not an issue, and you had the opportunity to install a single
new gadget in your instrument panel (without removing anything else--assume
you have the room for something new), which instrument would you install, and
why?

Try a "simulated" electronic flight bag.

Are the real ones any good? And I thought they were independent of the
instrument panel.

Weapons. I'd really, really like machine guns. Warp drive would be cool,
too.

Barring that, however, I think the absolute coolest thing would be a FLIR
(Forward-Looking-InfraRed) camera hooked up to a large multi-function
display. I've seen enough flight demos to believe that (when they become
more affordable) these things will be the greatest advance in flight safety
since the artificial horizon was invented.

Maybe a dedicated photo printer.
