The Official "What Did Santa Bring You?" Thread

kbfispotter · Wed Dec 26, 2007 5:28 am

Lets see here,
A Magellan eXplorist GPS (I can finally go geocaching without borrowing a GPS from my brother in law)
Bose in-ear headphones for my iPod
the traditional clothes
subscriptions to Airways, Airliners, and a renewal of my AOPA membership
a couple of DVDs
and a few other things

But the best gift was from a friend of mine: he was able to track down a control yoke from a 707. It now sits on my bookshelf next to my collection aircraft models.
