What... do I look like I'm MADE of Aviators?

Actually, a Black and Purple are next on my list, if I can ever find them!

That's a mighty impressive collection!

I think you might honestly have an illness........ :twothumbs


Awesome collection, just think how many dollars are sitting on the bench there.

 

[jumpstat]

Cool collection. Are they all being used or kept?

 

[RedLED]

You really like A2's!

Thanks!

In answer to your question, both! I carry the Aviatrix modded Red/White and the THC3 modded Green Aviators with me every day as my left-pocket EDC lights, and I always have the Yellow/Green A2 in my Filson bag/Briefcase as my favorite "demo" light to show people who have an interest in A2s or flashlights in general. I keep the stock White A2 on the coffee table next to my bed, as my "bump-in-the-night" response flashlight. The old style (4-sided) Blue A2 with the short clip is the only one I've really "shelf-queened" - it's currently sitting in a desk drawer until I figure out exactly how I want to mod it. The other 3 have been used VERY frequently lately as experimental test subjects for Aviatrix modding experiments, I had to put them back together in their normal configuration for the photo - they haven't spent much time lately with their own LED rings in them!

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention... the Red/White Aviatrix modded light (far-right in the photo) is my favorite of the bunch. It has serial number 61616, which I thought was really cool when I bought it from fellow CPF member "benighted". I knew that one just HAD to be the world's first Aviatrix-modded A2!

Best wishes,

Very (grinding teeth) nice (turning green with envy) indeed! Seriously, that is a superb collection - unique.

I may have a solution for you for your "ugly duckling" blue A2 – PM will follow.

You only have 8 A2's? Geesh Bawko, I thought you really *liked* the A2. Humph, I guess not. :devil:

 

[DM51]

js, you need to be careful about posting in this ol' Bird's threads. I think he's gone a bit crazy. He tried to seduce your avatar in the other thread, not realising that it was a picture of Michael Jackson.

NICE!!! but wait, you don't have enough and it's incomplete, you need a black one with flat sides and a purple one like Al's:nana:


Nice collection indeed!!

DM51,

Careful now. That woman in the pic doesn't like being mistaken for Michael Jackson, . . . and she has a gun.

 

[cbdudley]

Very impressive - now we need beam shots, please!

 

[Gointothelight]

Seek therapy now... and sell me your lights!:goodjob:

 

[Strauss]

Very impressive.....nice collection, you are only 2 short now! :naughty:

 

[Patriot]

Haha! Very cool! With all the colors it looks like the 4th of July. The stock A2 with white Nichias looks pretty darn good doesn't it. I like the modded THC3 green too. Thanks for the picture.

DM51,

Careful now. That woman in the pic doesn't like being mistaken for Michael Jackson, . . . and she has a gun.

Ah Jim!! I was looking forward to your changing your avatar for that one again.

Oh crap!! Now I really really want the Green A2...

Which LED color do you prefer in your A2's and for what reasons?
