For many of the professional pilots who fly the heavy iron and corporatetypes with every feature imaginable in terms of radios, nav systems, andinstruments, it is refreshing to fly the simplest of machinery.One of my Captain friends never really cared that his Luscombeinstruments worked at all. He maintained they were merely there tosatisfy the FAA requirement and the fact that most were inoperable wasof no concern to him. He enjoys the true seat of the pants flying. There is something to be said about this and I hear waht Mike C. issaying. While I will take the minimum instrument set per FAArequirements plus a needle and ball, I could probably get along withjust the ball. GPS, radios, etc....what a hassle. Just give me asectional anyday.chris bobka________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 11:10:02 -0600
