I never had one. Just an old, falling apart headset bag. I used to make fun of my dorky co-workers for talking about how awesome their flight bags were all the time.Instructors have flight bags?I just walk in wearing flip flops and t shirt

It's nice when you aren't relying on this job for money anymore. You can walk in wearing anything you want because if anyone doesn't like it, i don't care too much. Sometimes they'll go to other schools where the CFI's have uniforms or flight suits which makes them feel safer. lol. "I walked into the other school and they gave me 11 handouts right away. I just feel so much safer". Then they go fly and the tower reems out the 300 hour CFI for calling the tower 3 times telling them theyre ready for takeoff when they've got 11,485 jets waiting for takeoff.

Just happy to be here.
Ok I'll bite. Im rather bored, so perhaps actually listing it all out will find me a way or two to lighten the load.
I have a backpack. (Makes life easier when riding a motorcycle to work on the odd day I feel like it it).
- Headset
- Trifold kneeboard (i have a specific way ive organized things since PP, and i like it!!!) it holds my certificates, medical, school specific checklists, e6B, high speed instrument cover made from a pizza box and my scratch paper.
- Ipad Mini-2 w/ folding case and of course ForeFlight Pro....slips nicey onto the kneeboard.
- Garmin external GPS receiver. Works way better than the standard wifi only Ipad I have.
- Paper LA sectional, San Diego TAC, LA TAC, and Low IFR chart...most of the time current. Ive had my Ipad overheat, crash and just go screwy, on several checkrides in fact (Commercial Single, CFI and CFII). I teach my students throughout private only using the paper charts. Plus it feels like CYA for good ole 91.13/91.103.
- Portable Radio w/ built in localizer tracking. Typically its just stored here for when I solo students and I like the SHTF coverage it provides.
- Foggles
- Kitchen Timer...habit from my IRA training. Clocks we had sucked so i liked it better...can probably do without but it still finds use occaisionally.
- Chap stick
- Gerber Multitool
- Headlamp for night flights
- Portable battery pack with charging chord for my phone/ipad.
- ID lanyard for my charity flying (no where else better to keep)
- Barf bag (trust me...watch a student trying to puke out a window in flight will make you wish you had them. I just tactically aquire them from any air lines i happen to ride on from time to time).
- Pens (most work, but have that little clip broken off....damn my clumsy arms).
- Lighter
- Flying specefic sunglasses/case...Serengeti baby!!! Hell of a good investment.
Seems like alot in compared with what most have listed, but I guess i cant shake the "better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" mantra. Becides when your used to hauling around more, a 12lb backpack seems like a breeze.

Well THIS is awkward!
1. A Sennheiser S1 that really needs some warranty work done...
2. iPad Air with wifi.
3. Knee board with a airport diagram and scratch paper for notes.
4. Updated (paper) sectional.
5. Foggles (although I need to get better ones).
6. Double AA batteries for said headset or for the student that has a headset crap out on them.
Items I really need to get:
1. Sunglasses (for some reason I never picked some up).
2. An iPad with a data plan.
3. Foreflight
4. Possibly a Go-Pro to debrief flights.

They assume the jets are ready, we actually do have to tell them...

NC has almost exactly the same thing. I use it as an excuse to go flying with my kids instead of doing actual work.

That's pretty awesome, is there anything like it in Florida? If not, I'll see what I can do about making it happen.

Did you lock the doors?
I wore lost and found sunglasses for years. Even wore some women's glasses once in a while. Right @Old Dominion Flyer ?

Assuming you're talking about primary instruction and not partial panel for instrument students, I'd send someone to you to learn to fly.
