    Any of my fellow OF members attending the tour of the new Flying Eye Hospital at LAX this evening?
    Hope to see a good showing from the group.

    What is the Flying Eye Hospital Tour? All I can think of is that it has got to be the world's worst name for an ophthalmology clinic...

    Got the invite, but unfortunately, I'm in Nebraska. Would have loved to be there. Pics please.

    That's really great! While not my area of specialty, I'll have to ask my ophthalmology friends about this. Would love to see some pics from the event!

    Great shots, @tpatta ! Looks like an amazing aircraft+hospital. I regret even more that we couldn't be there, but thanks for the virtual experience :)

    For those who don't know a lot about what Orbis does, here are a couple of documentaries that are worth watching-- one featuring Omega Ambassador Cindy Crawford (and her daughter), and one featuring actor Daniel Craig (don't know if he is presently an Ambassador or not after quitting the Bond franchise, and given his fondness for Rolex watches in real life)

    Thanks for the enlightenment guys, this is pretty awesome! Would have enjoyed seeing it "in the flesh," so the pics are much appreciated.

    Not much more for me to add. Now I know who it was that took the teddy bear photo with the watch. Nice watch by the way! I thought it would be an OF member!

    My ophthalmologist friends think very highly of Orbis. One of them after seeing my pictures of Orbis said should have bought an Omega rather than a Tag.

    I presume your Apollo 11 panda will soon meet its sibling panda CK2998 LE? Would make a nice pair.
