Just about any kind of sunglasses will be fine but its the old "take em up and try em out" principle at work. Also, avoid glasses that have colour tint. I flew one cross country flight with orange tinted glasses and was wondering why my map didnt have roads on it (the orange tint cancelled out the brown of the roads on the map) :) Finally, as everyone knows, real aviators wear military helmets! :) Seriously, consider getting your own headset as this could affect the types of sunglasses you can wear comfortably.

Wow, I used to have a Helio Courier for Flightsim 2002 way back in the day! :)

SLR means Single Lens Reflex....the same lense is used for focusing and capturing the image so whatever you see through the viewfinder is what the storage medium sees (whether its film or a CCD in a digital camera) I want a digital SLR....so cool for taking photos. As an aside, if you told me that first shot was a screen shot i would have believed you.....its scary how that line is blurred sometimes.

Well we rolled to the end to our park, but we could have landed in 1/3rd of it and taken off in about half. we used 30 landing and took off on 12.

Does Anybody know what those red lights on the gear legs are for?: Hmm not too sure, not all the changs have em and not the one I fly. There are heaps of little strange things on em but they are all pretty different. Not like yr stardard western tommy
