All pilots show your planes and GMT-II's

How many pilots we have out there? I and my father have a Diamond D-40 and love it! Do you all wear a GMT-II when you fly? Cockpit photos please! I am doing a night flight to Savannah Saturday, so I will try to upload a few pictures with my Pepsi GMT.

Not a very good shot of the cockpit but yes, that is me, a long time ago. And you can't see, but I'm wearing the first Rolex I ever purchased, a Fat Lady GMT II.

I no longer have an airplane...........

But I started flying back in the '70's and logged a couple of thousand hours flying throughout Alaska............. Great times....

I've also been involved in the development of a couple of flight platforms that frequent the night skies from time to time..........

Dont have any pictures, and havent figured out how to post quite yet, but. A Beech King Air 350 and Learjet 45 is what i drive, and GMT IIC and a Pepsi 1675 is what I wear.

I don't like the look of your N1 and EGT on there....!
I think you may have just ruined several million dollars worth of engine!

Our family built an award winning "EXPERIMENTAL" called a BD IIII a four place high wing with an IO-320. We sold it years ago to a FEDEX pilot who ground looped it and it was totalled

this is awesome, thank you all!

When I have some more free time in a few years, and can muster up the courage, I'll go back to taking lessons.

Until then, I'll just drool over your pictures.

This photo of me was taken in 2008 in my aircraft at the time...CH-47D Chinook. My trusty GMTII in Afghanistan. I have since moved to flying C-12s(King Air 200). Great pics by the way guys and always fly safe.
