Re: aviation wristwatches
I only trust my "inner Zulu".My favorite analog watch for keeping track of two working time zones (such as Zulu and a changing local time).
Set Zulu on inner dial and current local on the outer ring. Change local time by moving the outer ring bezel.

Re: Yet Another Stroke Of Genius
Melissa photographed the back ofthe lamp, but being an aviation part I doubt you could recognize this Glenn.Wouldn't a real genius figure out a better way to route the wiring?

Re: Why They Call Him Genius ..
It is purely my Geniuos and ability to understand the ATC system and know what to ask for.Is it just me, or does ITS seem to take lots of very direct routes?
Is it because of his genious, or is this a FedEx thing, or are direct routings growing rapidly?

Re: Nimrods tapping into Taliban Command Nets
I think this is nothing more than a "feel good" article to justify the Nimrod which is a crap airplane with an even more crap avionics than normal. This thing in the current configuration has been nothing but a boondoggle that last year had one crash due to poor design and inadequate maint...
