Which, it was right about then that I wondered if I was supposed to put my iPhone into “Airplane” mode before take-0ff.

    Too bad the oxygen mask hides the smile that is obviously stretching from ear to ear.

    Some men get a red sports car at a certain time in their life. The really good ones get a “lawn dart”.

    Joy!

    Does the young opposition get to see you with the reading glasses hooked to your flight suit like that? Do they snicker? I hate the young.

    If only to save your battery. If it can’t find a 3G signal it goes to full power until it does. Same deal with WiFi.

    As long as your tray table and seat were in a locked and upright position, the plane will fly….I’m still waiting for the day when we hear the FAA state, ” The cause of the accident was that a passenger had his iPad on playing Angry Birds. This in turn caused a complete loss of avionics on the aircraft…”

    HAHAHA…love the reading glasses! Lord knows, I’ve got a pair hung above top button at all times.

    So when are you going to get the mechanics to put in an USB port for the iPhone? It would be something you can then brag about to the super bug pilots.

    Yep, the cheaters were the first thing I saw! It’s a pain needing them while flying. I got sick of switching back and forth between them and sun glasses so I bought a pair of combos last year at Oshkosh and love em!

      Dewalt tinted safety glasses, with integral readers, like bifocals. Love them at the beach – helps with the books, without blurring the “scenery”, as tinted readers would. Dark lenses also help keep my wandering eyes from being noticed, or at the least giving plausible deniability.

      Available at Amazon for under $15.

    You can do whatever you want with your iPhone- just don’t DROP it!

    Lex, you have that big, beautiful word “Experimental” emblazoned on your fire-breather. No worries, brah, you can pretty much do anything you want with your iPhone. Just don’t be gettin’ all het up if anything goes south because of it. ;)

    So, Lex – how heavy was your phone with the necessary G for your 90 degree AOB?

    That’s the nice thing about flying a dinosaur, Lex. You don’t need to worry about the possibility of any iPhone interference. LOL
