  | Re: Sincerest form of flattery? Saw that too, kinda made me mad. Sky High has a great product, and it's too bad that ASA has ripped off their wonderful bag. Skibum's right, I think the only difference I could pick out is the headset pouches. Cheers John Herreshoff |

| Re: Sincerest form of flattery? If you bought a ballistic Cencal, you paid too much. Sky High's are less expensive and designed better (precisely why ASA ripped off their design and not Cencal's). And if that weren't enough, I hear there's a JC'er discount coming soon. |

| Re: Sincerest form of flattery? That bag in the pic has entirely too much crap to be lugging into the cockpit, IMO. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I agree--and I don't think that much stuff will actually fit in there anyway (certainly not a laptop--though one would easily fit in the Apollo attache). My standard XC load-out:  And the standard local load-out (Freedom VII, smaller bag):  Both available, incidentally, from www.SkyHighGear.com or at a bit of a discount from www.MarvGolden.com |

In fact, I used to think I always carried too much stuff....right up until I saw what a B-52 crew carries in the way of pubs for nuke alert training. |
