Would have rather had a pic from a club 172, but work will have to do:

Citizen Skyhawk A-T in a Skyhawk

 

[Half Fast]

I normally wear my Casio for flying (see my first post), but yesterday I was going up for some pattern work and a little local meandering, so just for grits and shins I took along my Blue Angels Citizen Skyhawk. This was my retirement gift from LockMart back in February. Come to think of it, this is the first time it's gone for a flight.

Pic taken over the tiny burg of Groveland, FL, which has a small ultralight field known locally as "Groveland International."

Good enough for Neil Armstrong good enough for me (although they've made a lot of varieties of the Speedmaster. Wore this one for 3/4 of my Navy career and I wore out the metal band so this NATO band is in the official RAF colors.

That’s a beautiful watch, Pugs.

I like your Toby, too. Did you get it from an auction at Archbury?

Very nice. Is that a standard Speedmaster Reduced ?

. I believe it is. I've never cared for the giant watches.

. I don't actually remember where it came from except it was the UK. The internet blurs lines like that!

Since the indexes at 3 and 6 o'clock aren't the same length as all the others I can tell it's the smaller model.

Cool! I'm more familiar with the variants of Colt Woodsmans than my watches.
