not really airplane related, but my grandmother gave me my great-grandfather's watch, it's an 18k gold Omega from the 20s or 30s. Pretty nice piece! The movement currently doesn't work, so she's going to have it repaired and cleaned for me then give it to me.

WOW!! That's a SWEET gift Ian!!

It's pretty unusual for my family to give me aviation related gifts, so I was very happy to get two Comant nav antennae and a GT-50 timer/gmeter/OAT.

My beautiful wife sprung for an RV-A tow bar and carpeting and floor sound underlayment for my RV-6A. I have used the tow bar already and it reall helps on grass and in snow. It also makes it a lot easier to back the airplane on pavement or putt it straight. I have to order the and carpet floor underlayment yet but I hope to get done this week.

Russ' CD is an incredible resource. Every time I look at it I find some new snippet of information. A great gift!

Cool! I got "The High and the Mighty" last year on DVD. I was hoping for Island in the Sky this year but no dice.
