Where did you receive the IPX8 information? The Yaesu tech emailed me back stating the radio is IPX5. Did some more searching and saw the brochure rating it IPX7.

I have to ask, why would someone want to transmit on aviation freqs? As a person who flies with his family I am pretty sure I am uncomfortable with the general pubic broadcasting on aviation frequencies. Am I missing something here?

In an emergency we can legally transmit on any frequency. If I'm stuck out in the middle of nowhere, and a plane/jet flies over me, I can radio them for help.
I carry an aviation radio for this purpose.

2.) Anybody here use a headset with any of these three handsets? Please share your experience!
You can install the Bluetooth board in the VX-8DR and have a wireless setup. I have it installed in my radio and it works well. If you search this forum for Bluetooth you wll find several threads that tell what BT headsets work with the radio. I have the Yaesu BT headset and also I use my Plantronics Voyager BT headset. They both work very well. I hope this helps abit.
Too bad we are refering to the VX8G and the D72 in this thread. Not the VX8. The VX8G does not have the bluetooth option.
The VX-8DR nudges out the TH-D72 for essentially 2 reasons:
1) Quad-band (and related ability to transmit/monitor bands simultaneously).
2) better "adverse conditions" capability.
