Actually, wearing Polarized glasses with the Streak in Landscape mode, tilting 
ones head 45 deg will clear the screen. Using the Streak in Portrait mode works 
fine-no tilting required.

Correction, "turning the Streak 90 degrees or your head may be required".  (In 
fact, this effect can be easily observed with a camera that has a polarizing 
filter attached.   You turn the filter, and in one position, the Streak's 
screen will go blank.)

Polarized sunglasses aren't recommended (there's an FAA document about this) 
because they can reduce reflections of sunlight on wings of other aircraft.  I 
understand they make it harder to read some LCD displays and see through some 
perspex canopies.
