· “My MicMuff® Cover
arrived on Tuesday (3 working days) half-way around the world. I went flying
with it installed the next day and it cut out all the surrounding noise. So simple
and it works. Thank you.
-- R. M., Adelaide, Australia
· "I
have just used my new MicMuff® Microphone Cover for
the first time in my J3 Cub. This aircraft has no electrical system, and
I rely on an Icom IC-A5
handheld for communication. To date this has proven almost useless in flight.
I have not only had to throttle back to get enough transmission clarity to
be (barely) understood, but have actually had to pull the nose up and slow
to just above the stall! And flying with the door open was a non-radio pastime.
Today I was given a 5 x 4 radio check at 30nm with the door open. I cannot
over-emphasize how well this product works. I was just about to spend $1,000
plus on an advanced ANR headset out of sheer desperation, but this little bit
of genius has solved my problem completely."

· "Just
got around to installing your HushKit® system
in my headset that I use in the Stearman. This is a very high noise
environment, with
exhaust stack noise in the right ear and lots of wind buffeting. The
result was, I now turn down the volume control about 30 percent from
what was necessary before.
I plan to put out the word to the Stearman community...this product
really works!" — B.B.
· "If you
are flying more than 45 minutes at a stretch, Oregon Aero upgrades
are true ‘ear savers’; they might even be ‘life savers’
given the distraction a noisy cockpit provides." —
Dr. B.W., Anchorage, AK
· "The key
to making this whole system work was the least costly component,
the MicMuff® Cover, Oregon Aero’s Model # 90015 (leatherette
and foam) microphone covers....These little babies really work!"

· "I’ve
been using a...headset that I bought used in 1980. Over the years
I have upgraded it with a boom mic, gel filled ear seals of several
types and have enjoyed the service it has given me. Lately, the
noise levels have just been too high (I fly a Twin Otter) and that
top cushion just wasn’t cutting it anymore....I ordered your
upgrade kit. Best headset decision I ever made!!!! The SoftTop® Cushion
and the ear seals make a world of difference!" — B.B.
· "After several
missions consisting of open doors and windows during the flights
and extended flight hours, the pilots have come back to me with
only positive comments on your products (headset upgrade kits)....very
comfortable and much improved noise attenuation with no exceptions."

"I was so impressed with the seat cushions that I bought
an Oregon Aero® portable seat cushion to use when I fly
Airliners
at work. Also, the B-17 is very loud inside. Wearing a headset
for six hours can be painful. I upgraded my headset with
the
Oregon Aero comfort kit, and wow! No more headaches."

ARCTIC
JUNGLE — The film crew of Arctic
Jungle Films uses upgraded Oregon Aero headsets as they travel
the country for Canada's Outdoor Life Network. |
Oregon Aero was present at a
NASA test of the parachute recovery system for the International
Space Station lifeboat, the X-38. Oregon Aero upgraded helmets
and headsets for the crews. These photos show loading the
recovery system onto a C-130. The lifeboat would be used in
an emergency return to earth.

Barnstorming
No Longer Painful
|
 |
Of
course Joe Kittinger is smiling! He's wearing a headset
upgraded by Oregon Aero. The headset is painless even
after barnstorming for 11 hours. |
Joe Kittinger, Colonel USAF (Retired),
spends his days barnstorming around the country in a biplane.
Says Colonel Joe, who wears an upgraded Oregon
Aero® headset, "This headset is the most
comfortable headset I have ever worn. While barnstorming
I frequently
wear my headset for up to 11 hours at a time. At the end
of the day I have experienced no discomfort from wearing
this headset. What relief! Of course, the noise (dampening)
part of this headset is quite remarkable and also contributes
to my comfort by eliminating unwanted noise...."
(Joe’s an interesting guy. The "First
Man In Space," in 1957 he ascended in a balloon 96,000
feet. In 1960 he executed the Highest Parachute Jump From
a Balloon, 102,800 feet, and in 1983 achieved the World’s
Record Distance of 2,001 miles in a helium balloon. In 1984,
he completed the First Solo Trans-Atlantic Balloon Flight
and a World’s Record Distance of 3,543 miles. We’re
proud to be associated with such an accomplished pilot.)

· A
civilian pilot tested the MicMuff® Cover in
a Cessna 182 hauling jumpers, with the door removed and no aircraft
insulation. On the
pilot's first transmission to approach control with the MicMuff® Cover on his headset mic, the controller asked, "Did you guys
get new radios or something?"
· "
My fiance has had difficulty because she is 5' tall and needs a
booster seat to see out of the Piper Dakota windshield. She also
experienced frequent headaches from (her) headsets. We purchased
an (Oregon Aero) seat cushion and lumbar support (and) a complete
headset kit... you can add another couple of very satisfied customers
to your growing list. Thank you for the hard work you put into
producing
products that improve the comfort of pilots and passengers."
