What kind of flashlight would you recommend for preflights?

You get attacked while doing the walk around often?

What will you use if you cannot reach the crash axe when the bums rush the cockpit? I keep my flashlight very close for that eventuality, its easy, and provides a mindset.

You can burn the paint off so you can inspect for cracks in the skin......from 40 feet away!

Become a captain and you don't need to do walk arounds.

How can you expect your F/O to do a good walk around, if you aren't willing to do one yourself. Don't dislocate your arm patting yourself on the back for being a total doosche nozzle.....

Why not just have the crash axe out & ready? That's about the only valid advice Jenny gave me! lol

Tell that to Denzel Washington in the movie "Flight." When it opened with him doing the walkaround--in the pouring rain no less--it had already jumped the shark.
