I hope you included a dotted line on the back above having the words "cut

What a rip-off!

A good polo will be sewn. If it's not good quality, I won't buy it. And
the FBO wouldn't want it to represent them.

Although I agree with you, the object of this game is to keep the
investment
affordable for even the smallest FBO. If the FBOs don't buy into the
idea,
if a pilot can't get a unique t-shirt at *every* FBO, this house of cards
comes tumbling down.

I think the key is to make the t-shirts unique to the area, and to the
FBO,
so that pilots want them as souvenirs. Good quality is a must, but they
just can't be too pricey, or they will rot on the rack. An embroidered
polo
shirt is quite a bit more pricey than a screen-printed t-shirt.

I agree. A tastefull, high quality printed, perhaps 2 or 3 color design
would still look good, and not cost too much.

So, anyone got any idea how best to get in touch with 10,000 FBOs?

Open the door and shout *real* loud, "Calling all FBO's, Calling all
FBO's - come in, please!" ???

Some of the websites are calling on a weekly basis for fuel prices...

Anyone know who is doing this?

As many aviation tabloids are offered free to their readership at FBO
crew lounges, I would consider contacting some of those listed he

http://www.landings.com/_landings/pa...lications.html

Of course, the FAA Regional Office should also have a list of FBOs.
Another obvious source for FBO listings is AOPA.

Here's a firm that exhibited at AOPA Expo:
http://jensenactivewear.com/index.htm
screen Print and embroidery company specializing in custom tees, sweat
shirt designs & embroider hats, Jackets ect. for FBO, airports,ect

This one could be called "Sunnin."

Wow, that's quite a list.

Sadly (but not surprisingly, I suppose), the link to the "B-17 Crewmen
Newsletter" no longer works...

Just Googled "B-17 Combat Crewmen & Wingmen Newsletter" and it shows:

Some Bomb Groups have websites such as http://100thbg.org/

You can create your own custom shirt here http://www.zazzle.com/ with no
setup charge or minimum. I designed a shirt for my grandson to wear after
his new baby brother arrived. Had a picture of a celestial galaxy cribbed
from the Hubble site and the text "I used to be the Center of the Universe,
but now I'm just the Big Brother" on it. Was reasonably priced, and pretty
quick. Design something for your FBO.

Anyone out there own a T-shirt shop? Could not, say, the Wizard of
Draws be employed creating unique designs for each airport?

You can have your own online T-shirt shop in about 3 minutes.

All they need is your logo, they'll do the rest.
