Hasselblad 503CWD_6559763 Time for reflection

The items in this photo, I had used religiously, during the my flying career. I carried them in a hand-stitched, black leather flying case, along with other items, such as a 2 D Cell Flashlight, my Pilot Logbook, and books of navigation charts and approach plates, et cetera.

The Telex headset was used for communications with Air Traffic Control and to communicate with the Pushback Crew, when they were plugged into the aircraft. For General Aviation aircraft, I used a David Clark headset, which is probably the best headset available. I used a Gentex SPH-4 helmet, when I flew Army Bell Iroquois helicopters.

The Jeppesen ProStar electronic Flight Calculator, is about 40 years old and it still works 100% reliably. I used it for preflight and inflight calculations from flying Army helicopters to Boeing 747 and 737 jet aircraft. One of the very unique features I liked about the Jeppesen ProStar was I could arrive at a solution for Track and Distance in Nautical Miles, starting with Latitude and Longitude entires. I could also calculate time from hours: minutes : seconds entries.

The Jeppesen ProStar electronic Flight Calculator, Model CR-3 could provide highly accurate calculations for preflight and inflight activities, except for the computations I noted above. I preferred the larger version, because of better accuracy and easier reading, in dimly illuminated cockpits, at night.

The Boeing coffee mug was purchased when touring the Boeing 747-400 assembly plant at Everett, Washington, while attending training to become a Captain of Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets. The base of the coffee mug is designed to fit perfectly into the cupholders on the Flight Deck. Oddly, I do not have cupholders on my Mercedes-Benz, but they were thoughtfully provided by Boeing on the 737 and 747 aircraft I flew.

And, my Bell & Ross Aviation chronograph is my favorite, because it reminds me the type of clocks fitted to aircraft I had flown, especially early in my career.

I served as a Captain, briefly, at Xiamen Airlines.

Photographically-speaking, it was a pain in the ass to set the up the various components in the scene. Oddly, though this was photographed using natural light, I merely guessed at the exposure settings.
