What's in YOUR flightbag ???

[White Knight]

Come on then folks - what do you carry around in your big black bags?

I have a digital camera, packets of cup-a-soup and a mug. Also little white face clothes from first class to wipe the TV screens clean. Also loads of pens - from loads of hotels, and a clipboard.

What do you hide in yours ??

I'm affraid I come up a bit boring in this one :-) In my flightbag:

Logbook,
Torch,
Pilots Charts of the UK,
Frequency list,
aerodrome phone numbers,
flight computers (no not the tv screen ones, rotary slide- rules!)
something to drink and some something to eat, both wraped in something grease-proof.


Hope this gives some insight into the flightbag of a lightpilot/student!
