lmao, that was great, I don't have to come back to the board for the rest of the day.

Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.

Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

Pogue Colonel: The what?

Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

Pogue Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?

Private Joker: Our side, sir.

Pogue Colonel: Don't you love your country?

Private Joker: Yes, sir.

Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?

Private Joker: Yes, sir.

Pogue Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.

Private Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

You're bringing a tear to our eyes... you're officially a Flight Instructor now Mini!!

The most aviation I've ever done to my car is putting one of those AOPA stickers on my back-center windshield of my sports car. It was from about three years ago, and is the dark, upside down looking wings. It doesn't stand out real well, but just enough that another pilot would pick it out. It's amazing how many of those stickers you'll see on the road once you're looking!

The only aviation memorabilia I have in my car is the car's registration... As in my aviation career is paying for the car. There might be a stray pay stub or two in the glovebox, too. Anyone who breaks into the car might be amazed to see that the paystub indicates I make enough money to pay for the car, however.

I have a replica of the Enola Gay nose art painted on the front fenders of my Camry.

The funny thing is that Tibbets drives (or used to drive) a Camry.

Just the airport parking pass. Once I leave the lot, I cover it up with my faux Whorehouse Parking Pass, where I tell people I play the piano. I get more respect that way.

A guy that used to live in my old apartment complex had a license plate that was "AV8R", had a teddy-bear dressed as a WWII pilot buckled in to the back seat, and then always hung his uniforms back there with them facing out so people could see the epaulets. What a dork.

Me personally, absolutely nothing in any of my vehicles!

 

[Tram]

My tag says "FXN2FLY" and I have a small "Van's Aircraft" sticker in the bottom center on my hatch..

 

[flyboy06]

I have a mock refueling receptacle in the hood, electroluminescent formation strips on the sides, and black and yellow ejection handles mounted on the headrests. There's also a "Jet-A only" decal from Sporty's around the fuel door and an authentic F4 Phantom stick grip on the shifter.




I thought you were talking about a Riddle dork, we got a kid here that has a camry that looks like a fighter jet (stickers pointing to door handles, and other random stuff) If I see it on campus again I'll take a pix and post it here (its summer break, might be a couple weeks)

1. It's my wife's car. A Volvo. She likes it, and the Golden Rule in our family is "Wife Happy...Life Happy".
2. I didn't know Col. Don Conroy, but I knew the squadron C.O that Robert Duvall followed-around for a few weeks to research his role as Santini. His name was Kiley, and he had the swagger.
3. Did you miss the plate number? "CZI"

Who could forget that student pilots car that had all those stickers on the back, airplane hanging from the mirror, instrument "coasters" attached to the steering wheel, and cut outs of a GPS to place over the radio???

User 997, that was great.

I do not have anything on my car, yet we did take the dear Arrow and spice it up a bit. The plane was white with purple and gold striping, there were three purple seats (front left and back seats) and the front right seat was bright red. When you got into the front seats they sank so low you were sitting on the floor.

We added gold fringe with decorative balls hanging to the front windscreen, gold curtains, again with the decorative balls, to the back windows, added neon flashing light around the registration plate on the empennage, jacked up the volume on the ADF over the speakers. Changed the other front right seat to match the bright red of the left seat. Oh, and we tossed a swinging madonna with a grass skirt on the cowling.

I have a small ALPA sticker on the rear windshield. Thats it for me.

 

[squonk]

Got the old 70's era Black/White FLY front license plate. You know the one that if you look at it the wrong way it looks like computer code?

It was free from some place down in FLA!

I had a NAFI sticker in my back window for a couple of years. I was flying for a guy who was really excited about getting as many potential students in the door as possible. Net Result: Zero students, about 10,000 ribbings from my friends about how my car wasn't quite "Maverick" enough for my personality.

Sometimes I tell girls at bars that I'm a fighter pilot while I'm sipping on my ginger ale.

I have to admit, at one time I was a flying geek. I had the same "FLY" license plate on the front of my car when I was in Florida and South Carolina, but had to get front plate when I made it back to Wisconsin...it's the law.

Also, since I was taking all of my 10 day instrument students to this examiner at the flight school in Conway-Horrie (or hower the heck it's spelled), I had one of their stickers above my third brake light. What was the name of that school? North American Institute of Aviation?

I put Lycoming stickers you could get at Oshkosh once upon a time, on the cowling of lawnmowers.

Now you also need to install some 5" diameter mufflers, 'Neuspeed' sticker across the top of the windscreen (+5 horsepower), four 12" woofers to hear ATC with, blue LEDs in the recognition lights, and 22" spinners!

That would be phat.

 

[FN FAL]

That would be phat.

Actually, add a center arm rest and TV rabbit ears made for cars and it would be down right "gangstaline". And don't forget to add the facade tire carrier with the wire spoke wheel cover.
