  Steve,
  You're better off getting a FLIR camera, such as what is available at
  www.foresight-flir.com ; it lets you see at night, through smoke and
  fog, and still lets you see all your instruments properly (even has its
  own battery backup in case you lose all power). If you want the ultimate
  in night time safety features, this is it. Though this is the one we are
  working with, there are others as well.

  What do you guys think about night vision goggles for added safety
  factor for single engine night flying.  I'm talking about for the
  unfortunate event of engine failure, not tooling around wearing them
  ;).  The prices on them have been reduced over the years, and it
  would be cheaper than buying a twin.  Any thoughts?
