Default Night light

Check out www.FLITELITE.com for those awesome night flying experiences. When that super higtech all-glass panel goes black, you won't have to be holding that flashlight in your mouth while you trim the airplane, hold the stick, and juggle the engine controls, especially on landing.

This looks just like the "Mic Light" that I've been using on my helmet boom mike for a couple of years - maybe they've changed the name. Regardless, it is a GREAT addition to the cockpit on night flights!

Default another neat light

Over the last year or so I picked up a led light that you can strap on your head. 3 triple a's, and has red or white light. Not only is it great in the cockpit, but once you shut down switch to the white light and all of a sudden you have light everywhere you look. Fantastic for getting your stuff together and securing the airplane at night.

Got a few of those, new-in-package, in NVG-compatible green. One on my old helmet, too (which jumped into my car on my last day in the Corps...).
