Default Good laptop/cockpit bag

Looking for a good bag to keep in the cockpit. Laptop/ipad etc.
Something that will be piggybacked on a LW stealth bag. Like brightline but don't think it fits well with a stealth.

Thanks.

I've been using an older version of this case for several years, and I've been very pleased with it. (It was designed by an airline pilot.)

The laptop section splits off from the main section with a zipper, so you do not have to take your laptop out of the case when you run it through the x-ray machine.

They come in sizes to accommodate 15.4" or 17" laptops.

Al,

I just thought you had updated your bag and gotten rid of the cassette player. You've got your EFB holder. What else you need?

Take a look at Bison Mountain Bags.

I've got their "Sidekick" and love it as a cockpit bag. It's probably a little too small for most laptops, but it's got a pocket that's perfect for an iPad (or a "netbook").

Kudos bar. I'd expect nothing less from you.

I have had one of the Aerocoast bags for 2-3 years, by far the most versatile bag I have ever had! Plenty of room for wallet, keys, passport, ipad/laptop, chargers, magazines, books, food, sunglasses, you name it!
wwwDOTareocoastDOTcom, for some reason it wont let me post the link, the cooler-efb/laptop combo. A little pricey but totally worth it! It drops over the handle so the computer/ipad is on one side and the cooler part is on the other.

LW makes a bag that has a hook on it that fits well on the roller board. It's the Aurora series bag. Found it at crew outfitters, if you want to start there.

I use a Samsonite Columbian Leather 2 Pocket Business Briefcase (50791):

Luggagefactory.com - Laptop Bags, Business Cases and Attaches

It fits on my 22" and 26" LW bag just fine, but for the 22" I do hang it by the shoulder strap to ensure it does not drag at all.
