Yeah, but having flown in what I think was that very airplane at Brodheadlast time around, I can say that if you do that, you oughta make it easilyremoveable and stowable without any tools... I'm thinking "velcro" here. Iam about 6-1 and 230 lbs, and I nearly didn't get in OR out of the plane,and I had to cross my legs underneath the seat the whole time, in large partbecause that danged "moving map" was right where my left knee needed to beif I sat anywhere close to normally. (It was still a great ride, even if Iwas wedged in!) Have fun, but make sure such things don't get in the way ofutility... I can imagine this also creating a bit of a safety hazard in casean emergency egress is necessary.-MikeMike Whaley merlin@ov-10bronco.netWebmaster, OV-10 Bronco Associationhttp://www.ov-10bronco.net/----- Original Message -----
