Do you big boys still carry an old fashion E6B?
I have a CX-2 electronic flight computer but still have an aluminum e6b in my flight bag.

Never leave home without it! bought my first one in 1969.

Zaphod this is also another toy I keep in my flight bag, Garmin 696 GPS with XM Weather. The CX2 is a nice flight computer I have a similar one it's the Sporty's flat electronic E6B flight computer...very similar.

Yeah, got something similar, but a little less expensive, not quite as good but it gets me through.

Zaphod how long have you had your Queen Air, is it a "straight 65" or an A65?

I've had it for 3 years(actually it's a joint ownership, between a friend and I), it's a straight 65, short wing span and straight up tail. it had the bigger engines in it when we bought it.

Rugged old airframe I suppose it is Full IFR instrumented, does it have autopilot and weather radar?
