At first i was disappointed. I knew I was getting 2 seperate shipments in the mail. Upon opening the first package I was surprised to only find 10 pens and a small note. I didn't expect much of the second gift after that. When the second gift came, I was surprised to see that it was an airplane's compass! Only it had been modified... My santa had sent me a custom made clock using an old refurbished instrument! Typically these can just be bought, but by the note and my analysis it looks as though my santa had taken the challenge to create it themselves! This is an awesome gift and I'm very grateful I kept my spirits high. Don't worry though santa, those pens will come in handy still in my flight bag :)
