As a direct result of this I put in a 2nd landing light (other wing) AND a Pulselight system (like Southwest uses, they're actually cheap units). The button for the Pulselight is the lower throttle button. I also have a 3 light strobe system w/Comet flash. How much good this will do for the guy in the C-210 checking out his new color Garmin 296, I don't know, but at least I *feel* better about being able to light myself up like a Christmas tree. Interestingly enough, I have not had any scrapes with Bobanzas. I've avoided a head on with a C-210 (he never moved....perhaps he was playing chicken), had a C-172 appear underneath my wing at about 100 feet while doing a clearing turn during my Commercial training (see, clearing turns are worth something), been almost run over by a 737 without a word from ATC...and my favorite...looking down at the top of a loop and seeing a turbine Beech-18 on a "bug run" (dropping sterile fruit flies) directly below me in the middle of the aerobatics practice area. There is a published freq. for the area...apparently he was taking a nap (they fly a GPS grid on auto-pilot) because even ATC got mad 'cuz they couldn't raise him. Anyway, my loop turned into probably the worst Immelman I've ever done! So, yes, the LA basin does present a target rich environment....

Just put in a multi-ganged flare dispenser unit ... Use WP flares and the whole valley will know you are coming ... ;-) At 08:22 AM 4/3/2004, Barry Hancock wrote: >--> Yak-List message posted by: Barry Hancock > >Guys, > >I operate out of the LA Basin.
