Ray Bans Aviators!!!

[coloneldan]

Hey Skyranger, I fly a straight 400 Beechpig....I mean jet. We have mostly steam gauges, but the polarized lenses cause problems with the radar, the nav system, a GNS-XLS, the new RVSM altimeters and the pilot's VSI. It's digital and incorporates TCAS.

Just wanted to let you know it effects things besides EFIS.

I think I'll start a new movement. Steam Gauges Forever!!! Down with EFIS, up with steam gauges.

Spent $15 at Target last week to replace the previous $15 pair that I scratched and now I can't find those.

I've had a pair of Ray Ban Predator 8 for about five or six years now. I even wipe them almost daily with a paper towel or a tissue...no scratches whatsoever. Whatever you wear, make sure you have UV protection. Many of the cheaper glasses don't have adequate UV protection and all you're doing is dialating your pupil and allowing more UV into your eye.

$100?! I just got some good shades at Sam's Club. They come as a pack of 12 sunglasses, and there are about 8 different styles. AND they have that stamp that says they are certified for eye protection (like when you're using electric tools). Total price: $26. I pass them out whenever a bud doesn't have a pair, too. Cheaper than buying them a beer (although I still will buy them a beer, too).

C'mon, what's the issue with these things? Why do I have to feel like a dork everytime I wear them? As far as I'm concerned, they're the best glasses you can buy with a measly $100. The quality is good, and they are very comfortable. I even wear them when I drive. I don't do it to look cool or to be a "poser". I just think they are good glasses for the money, plain and simple. Am I really a dork for wearing them??? This is getting ridiculous...

Ha, yeah, you're a dork. Aviator glasses go well with the leather jacket, the white scarf, and the license plate frame that says.......'My other car is a C172" (or pick your plane/jet).

Now, if you're really cool, you don't give a rat's about what others think!

Just got a pair of RayBan Flight series shades and I love em, non-polarized so they don't mess up the CRT's or Windscreens and have an excellent warranty.
