When
you need to write, and there is no light available, or when you don't want to
lose all your night vision, or when you don't want to disturb those around
you, the old solutions used to involve writing blind (and trying to decipher
it later) or holding a flashlight in your "spare hand," or even in your
mouth. Technology presents a better solution, and Wicks Aircraft Supply has
it: a pen with a lighted tip.
This good-looking ballpoint pen, with the
Wicks phone number always handy on its barrel, writes with standard black
ink, right where its own light is shining, allowing you to see and write in
otherwise pitch-darkness. It is also possible to use this pen without turning
on the light, to save the long-life batteries for when you need them. It is
also useful as a micro-flashlight.
Scott Wick, President of Wicks
Aircraft, says, "This new pen has a LED light which shines from the tip
directly to the surface you are writing on. It is perfect for the pilot who
flies at night and needs to write down a clearance or needs to see or make a
mark on their map. Now you don't have to hold a flashlight in one hand and
write with the other. Nor do you need to move your map under a cockpit light
to be able to see it. I wish I had one of these years ago."
The wait
is over. The Wicks part number is WF14101B, and the Aviator Light Pen is
available immediately, priced at $9.99.
