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.

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.
