On a recent flight I was told that they weren't receiving my transponder. My wife reached down, pulled up the antennae wire and innocently asked, "is this supposed to be connected to anything?". In all fairness though, she didn't freak when we lost all our electrical power as the battery hit 8 volts (yes, having one archaic mag can make sense!). "oh, look honey, there's an airport" (RNO! good thing I had maintained lots of altitude). So, don't teach her too much, she'll never fly with you :-) > The best fuel monitor of all is wife unit who wants crew responsibilities.
