Shortly after my blockbuster novel gets filmed by Bruckhiemer/Speilberg/John Woo / Tarantino and that Powerball hits, I will get a Beech 18 or Swift or Summat with a all-origional panel.. All GPS / ADS-B yadda Yadda will be hidden.

Colt Police .38 Spc - My pals 1st 'on the job' sidearm from patrol in 1968 to Detective, retired on NYPD - very accurate.
or so I've heard.
QFT. Especially in Indiana in my experience. F-ing people in that state are too darn friendly - made me so late one time getting to KC Kansas I lined up on a highway and had to side-step to OJC after 1am....
I earned some street cred and a stronger bond w/ my CFI on my long XC by getting my logbook not only signed at each [full]stop, but signed by a cute line / counter girl, and one obliged by planting a little lipstick kiss on it as well.
George L. was impressed.
Oh, I brought the plane back in...
Er... what is that sleek executive cruiser-mamajamma??????
And... wish I was at OSH - just pinged my flying buddy to plan for next year!
Flew in 3 X and drove once... the Arrival is as described above - a non-event and NOTHING (much) beats waking to 3 P-51's at full roar in T/O overhead while...
Damn. RIP.
I was at that BBQ + took off from the 2k' paved strip about 3 hrs prior. S*it.
Tim + family are wonderful folks. Horrible all around.
Prayers to all.
