REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT TAGS!

[Mopar John]

 I know a couple of wing cars have had these " REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT " tags on them. They have been discussed before and few like them and most dislike them! Yesterday the shop that does all the chassis work on my racecar had an open house. They had food and a live band and we the customers brought our cars to showcase their work. I came across some very unusual stuff! The first picture is of a full size tricycle with a lawnmower engine powered fan on the back! It has one of those remove before flight tags on it! The second picture is of the same guys 426 HEMI powered motorcycle Or should I say a HEMI with 2 wheels and handlebars? The third picture of the same guys hotrod with 2 KEITH BLACK blown HEMI's! I was told that they dynoed at 1450HP each! This thing had 2 parachutes and both of those also had those remove before flight tags on them also. So this guy likes his HEMI's and remove before flight tags. I don't know what he does with the hotrod besides take it to shows? The thing is so front heavy it would never hook up! When he started it he had to have some guys hold onto his awning so it wouldn't get blown away from the open header tubes it was that wild! WOW! The last picture is of my 1970 GTX dragcar on display!

I got it at a swap meet.  I'm sure they're out there somewhere but hers is still clean enough I haven't had to look for a replacement yet

[Dave Kanofsky]

I got one with my SuperBird that I kept and use with the Daytona, especially with it being red and white.

I like it so much I even got the shirt from the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH - you can order it from their website too...

And stu be nice--I just ordered a 5 pack of lime green keychains.  I only need a couple of 'em over by me 

[hemi68charger]

Maybe, once again with the picture, the pink one might serve my needs better.. 

[learical1]

What about the guy on the far right (of the picture, not politically)?  It looks like he really enjoys dressing up in pink!

You always want to make sure your pitot tubes and static ports are uncovered before flight .   

[winged69]

Not to step on anybody's toes but is there no pilots in the club?  The real tags were used first on fighter jets and then worked their way down to small aircraft.I have had the real tags for 8 years. They were left by the military by accident when they flew off on a training mission. The true tags are used for things like pinning the landing gear, covering pitot tubes and other equipment on the side of aiircraft when not in use. The ones I have a pocket, not a keyring, designed to slide over the pitot tubes. I hang mine from the hoodpins or the side vent windows.  Hint as with planes remove them before flight or they will be gone, in the wind! The real ones are neat and big enough to be read , but also good for loss at carshows.

[Ghoste]

Lost or stolen?

[70Sbird]

I have one of these tags courtesy of my brother and the US Navy! As mentioned above they are found in various locations tagged to items that need to be removed before the plane can fly. I usually unscrew my drivers side lock knob for extended displays and screw the it back on through the metal "ring" on the RBF tag. That way it hangs out over the drivers door for display and when it comes time to leave I just swing it inside the car. That way if someone really wants to "remove it before flight" or take it home from a car show they will at least need to take the time to take my lock knob off as well, they cant just grab it and go.
 

Here's a picture of my "tag" on my 'Bird in Milwaukee:

Hey Scott it's nice to see you had your support vehicle right behind you

Doug, you're like my personal pit crew/roomate!

Here's the same car (and heplers) earlier that day when it died leaving the hotel....

[Hemi Runner]

Scott,
Your bird gets around almost as much as Stuarts..... did you get the engine all tuned up and get the fogger turned off

[70Sbird]

Mike,
I also have a picture of Doug (PettyBird) under my dash with the fusebox in his hand at Talladega in 2004 trying to get my brake lights working again!

As for the 'Bird, it is running better than it ever has, but is still drinking a quart of Brad Penn 15W50 every 100 miles! 
To be honest I'm getting so fed up with it I havent even started the car in about a month.....
I need to pull the intake and take a good look at the valley pan sealing, that is about all I have left to check, everything else has come back as not the issue.

Blue Birds were never one of my favorites...But The Birds on this board sure make me a HUGE fan!!!!!!Funny how I didnt want a Greenie but couldnt find what I wanted (White) when I felt the need to have one.

Kind of a common theme...I went looking for a Limelight 'Bird when I finally was able to get serious about owning one, the wife really wanted a yellow one. Ended up with a blue one....go figure!

[WINGIN IT]

Funny, I always wanted a blue wing car, and have a lot of yellow Mopars so what do I end up with.... a yellow car.
