Just flying it mostly. Still haven't found an O2 mask, but I did see that OC finally has an ADF head available, so that's the next upgrade.

I haven't added or changed a thing since the last shot on that 'other' site.

Hey Mike..  Great to have you here.

If you want, I have a spare O2 Mask complete with comms if you want it.  I can take a picture if you want to see it and let me know.

Yes, if it's the 'quick-don' type used in the 7x7 I'd be interested.

Photo would be great!

No hurry at all. I've already been on the lookout for a year. Another week is nothing.

I'll PM my address and pick up the postage. Thanks a lot Trevor. I finally have something to hang in the mask holder. That thing has been hanging there doing nothing for the past year.

Do you need a quick-release mask holder? I have a spare you can have. Never did sell the other one.

Quick release mask holder?  Ohh for the back wall? Actually to be honest, I have 2 of these masks, and thought they would look good, but now after seeing those "Fake" mask panels that Nihad made in the past I have decided that is the route I would like to go.

Probably more up to date anyway.  If this suits your 727 needs, then I am happy to send it.  Please do me a favor though..  Before you dawn the mask, give it a good cleaning.. I have cleaned them once, but they could use a good cleaning..  I never used them, but still think they could use some more sanitation.  LOL

Will do.

I forgot they now hide the masks in a little cubby hole to the side of the pilot on the newer aircraft.

Thanks again!

Hi Scott. Same 'ol, same 'ol here in corn country.

Pretty mild summer we had this year. Saved a ton on electricity.

Hey Mike. Good to see you over here. Look forward to seeing the continuing progress of your magnificent 727. How's it working out with WideView? I finally got around to adding a 3rd 22 inch LCD to the outside view (3 x 1680 x 1050) and it's fantastic. Was thinking that side view might be nice to have next.

Regards,
Henry

Hi!

WidevieW is working well, though there are still alignment problems in turns due to the different screen sizes I'm using.

I've gotten used to it for the most part and don't pay much attention to it anymore.

Welcome back Mike,
Long time no see. Glad to hear your son is leaving harm's way, by the thanks for the kind words regarding mine :)
