Flashlight

[Swede]

The reason this thread is going ape-$hit is because most of us are already saddled with kit bags which tip the scales at back-wrenching weights. My own bag contains 2 aircraft manuals, a QRH, and no less than 3 Jeppeson binders, each about 3" across the seam, containing approaches covering the entire United States, Canada, Caribbean, Central and South America down to the equator. The last thing I need is a 4-pound D-cell monstrocity when a mini-maglight with AA cells does the job just fine.

Before I die, I want to fly a paperless-cockpit airplane. "Swede, do you have the latest revision DVD? Plug it into the FMS so we can shoot this approach!" Ahhhh the bliss.

Home Depot. $5.99 Everready light plastic 2D cell flashlight. Brighter than 2D cell maglights, and $20 cheaper. Not to mention it weighs less than 1 pound.
