Brief Description:  ELT - comment on funny shipping logic

I have been meaning to post this for some time but now that I am in the monotony of the canopy cutting - this is a perfect spot.

So, I ordered some cool stuff when I was at Oshkosh because they will typically have show specials and free shipping. One of the items I ordered was my super-cool ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter). In case of an accident, the ELT activates and sends a signal that can be "heard" by radio or weather satelite. It is a self-contained battery operated unit and the battery keeps sending the signal until you get found...so you want the battery to last a long time, right.

Well, after ordering it, it could not be shipped via passenger aircraft so it had to be shipped via ground transportation - because of the Lithium battery - like the one in most cell phones. So after I take posession of this ELT - it will be installed and spend the rest of it's life....in a passenger aircraft.
