I do like crackers, yet they crush easily, I do like the idea of some of the fruit filled softer type snacks, and the jerky sounds good except for the smell and the greasy hands. I grow lots of mangoes and I have dried a few and taken the slices with me which turn out to be very good. Dried Mangoes are delicious, supply energy and easily stored and will not melt. Try a nice dried Valencia Pride mango or a Carrie, they will make you fly better, especially the motorglider guys. Old Bob, The Purist

Definitely, must be dementia setting in, why all the anger?
Now back on subject, dried mango and water is very good, there are many dried fruits that you can buy at the market, they all are pretty good and store well. Whatever you do remove them from the cockpit after the flight, rodents can enter. Old Bob, The Purist

Try a couple of peanuts with a bite of apple.

Now motorglider guys, with their higher level thought processes,
intelligence, hand-eye coordination, and motor skills are capable of
handling peanuts, an apple, stick, rudder, and flaps at the same time.
Once you come over to the dark side, Bob, you'll understand. ;-)

A cup of Cuban coffee and pure fasting until the flight is over. ;-)

There used to be something called Mrs. May's something or other - they sold out to Dole. Really nice nut and seed clusters about 1" cube, no chocolate.. Unfortunately Dole only sells them in little bags at airport kiosks for $7 a bag. Sam's Club has something very similar at reasonable prices. They don't melt unless you let them sit at 100F or so.

Help is on the way (sort of - "Out of stock")! Walmart has 5 oz bags for $9, and they are
Dole snacks, not just "something similar".

Also on Amazon, with the same problem, but should be in stock before the next season, eh?

Just today I tried the best snack that I have ever taken on a flight, they are , Larabars, and they come in different flavors. ranging from blueberry, lemon and banana along with many more. They have no sugar, considered healthy and no not melt! Today I tried the banana bread bars, they are delicious, and easily stored. Old Bob, The Purist

As a former Hawaiian, I lean towards Dole, but at that price, I'm willing to pretend Dole
made them for Costco :^} Tomorrow's Costco day.

Another thing that is pretty good to eat in flight and doesn't get squishy in high temperature, is that colorful, layered liquorish candy called "Allsorts". Put them in zip lock sandwich bags to prevent ants.

I've tried the energy gel packets that they sell in sporting goods stores but they are expensive, the caffeine makes you urinate frequently, and they make a sticky mess if you are not careful. Also - it's nice to chew on something and these have the consistency of pie filling.

Soreen malt loaf, individual lunch box sized packs. Just the right GI level. No crumbs. Tasty. Don't melt. Doesn't matter if they get squashed.

Idea: that looks quite like the tea loaf my mum sometimes makes

Rx bars have no crumbs and a lot less sugar than cliff and the others

Malt loaf is a fair bit more dense and squishy than the usual tea loaf.

I've settled on Clif Bars, though I still throw in a few Power Bars occasionally (chocolate doesn't soften in the heat as much as peanut butter or vanilla do). I'm a big fan of energy gels when distance running but wouldn't use them in the cockpit because, as Roy, said, they can be sticky to fuss with. If you like that concept, Clif Bloks provide the same nutrition but in gummi-like cubes that are designed for runners and cyclists. Certain flavors of both the gels and the bloks have caffeine, but that's not a negative for me.

Just today I found more Larabars in the nutritional section of the market. I bought the banana and the blueberry packs, which consist of only one bar per pack, they are excellent. OBTP

Larabars are available on Amazon in quite a few colors.
