AirplanePorn PIC (Porn In Command!) 
I met Mike Ladd, maker of the AvPad (http://www.theavpad.com)at the aviation social media gathering at Oshkosh 2011. Sponsored by the good folks at Sennheiser Aviation (http://www.sennheiser-aviation.com), this event has become a favorite during Oshkosh. For a few hours all the bloggers and twitter’ers get to meet face to face and for once – interact in the real world. It’s also great to see real aviation companies supporting the growing aviation social media movement.
Mike’s product is ingeniously simple and solves two problems – holding your iPad (or iPad2) in the cockpit, and protecting it outside the cockpit. Cause if you have an iPad you HAVE to take it flying. I think there is a law against leaving it at home. Seriously. He’s designed a tough as nails, simple kneeboard that holds your iPad.
Packin’ Heat – Airline Pilot Cabin Announcement
This is a classic bit that came out after 9/11, but totally worth hearing every now and then.
I wish MY airplane pilots had such nice toys
For what it’s worth, I’m totally for arming all the airplane pilots and flight attendants. Let’s arm the ground crew too. A little less TSA and a little more HEAT! Who’s with me?
