Default Cool pilot stuff on the sleigh?

Okay, enough of this serious stuff. What kind of cool pilot gear are
you gonna put on your wish list for Santa this year?

I need some ideas for Joe -- our new pilot. I'm thinking maybe a
cheapie used handheld GPS, so he can stop following roads everywhere.
(And, of course, more flight time!) For myself, I'm asking Santa for
a vertical card compass and new shoulder harnesses for Atlas.

So how 'bout you? What's the coolest thing out there right now?
Traffic alerting boxes? ANR headsets? (Has anyone tried the new
Lightspeed Zulus yet?)

What do *you* want under your tree on Xmas morn?

ICOM A24 radio. I'll feel better with that safety margin in the plane.

A friend of mine that owns several Lightspeeds and a Bose test flew a Zulu
for several days and then immediately bought two Zulus. He loves them.

Isn't that the "retro-fit glass cockpit" for certificated airplanes?

If so, I agree -- that would be very, very cool.

If I were you, I'd delay that for about three Christmasses (sp?).

I have a long and expensive aviation wish list. For whatever reason
Santa has been sending the bills to my address. I will just have to
