Price of new Russian nvg
NigelH, your comment about NVGs having a limited range shows your lack of knowledge. Do yourself a favour and have a look at what a set of goggles actually designed for aviation look like - guess what they don't have a limited range and some can be focussed from 10 feet to infinity.
Listen to what the experienced people on this thread have to say - many have survived the introduction of goggles into the military and are trying to save you from having to re-learn the lessons (many very scary ones).
Try driving along a country road in the dark with the head lights off and the passenger only on NVG - see how happy the driver is to continue when he can't see the road you are describing to him.

Sometimes I despair! Perhaps they should change PPL to PAL for private amateur pilot - which is what some aviators should be re-classified under. Obviously there are serious professionals out there in the PPL bracket but people like nigelH make me shudder!
Shytorque responded eloquently, please read and inwardly digest.
Night flying requires enough concentration without someobody telling you:
"can you see this, can you see that" when you know damn well you can't because you haven't goggles on???????
If you want to buy your passengers goggles, fill your boots, but tell them to shut the fook up when you are flying
£5000 wouldnt get you a hoffman box these days!
