Why, you ask???–

I’m strapped to my ex-RAF Jet Provost jet trainer (google N4XW), and I get a clearance enroute to an airshow. Being left handed, I am able to retain control of the aircraft with my right hand remaining on the stick, and I can write with my left on the kneeboard strapped to my right leg!
In the old days we wrote on the canopy with grease pencil, but they cut that out when they discovered that the grease degraded the plexiglass.
Thought:Just like texting and driving, don’t let technology get you killed; eyeballs out!
