Getting some flight gear: part II

I'm waiting the whole day, anxious. In the other side of the line I can hear a very polite voice from Sporty's pilot shop telling me that my order will arrive still today and he is sorry for the delay. It's 5pm and nothing from the UPS guy on the door. A few minutes soon after I hung up the phone I hear the salvation knock-knock on the door: "that's him that's him" - I shouted to my roommate and he ran to the front door, and we are pleased to see a smily guy from UPS handing me a big box and a machine to sign on. I ran into my room and opened the box in such a rush that looked like it was a huge delicious plate of food and I was starving!

So there it was, the rest of my flight gear, new and shinny, a brand new DC headseat and an Icom handheld! I was so excited, I mean, look at this flight gear on the picture, this is really happening, right now, it even looks pro! I even got the stripes on the shoulders for the uniform!

My roommate was more excited than me I think, and he decided he also wanna be happy for the weekend and he desperately needed a laptop to play flight simulator X: we ran into the closest Best Buy store and he bought himself a laptop and a flight yoke, so we are all happy right now, it seems like we're not sleeping this night...

Last weekend before the classes start, let's have some drinks!

The costs vary a lot, depends on what and where. If you want to know the costs of the flight gear, it really varies a lot. For example, you can an Avcom shitty headset for only 100$ but you can also buy an Bose X headset for 1000$. If you want to know more about costs, please visit a big flight shop website - www.sportys.com. Please be more specific if you wanna know the cost of something else.
Thanks, and feel free to ask any questions!
