looking for an aviation poster
I'm trying to replace a poster that was damaged in a storm. It was of
a WWI plane crashed into a tree, seemingly the only tree around. The caption underneath read "Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.". It was a gift. I've looked around and can't find another. I heard they used to be sold at Oshkosh years ago. If anyone has an original, and is willing to make a photo quality copy, I would be more than willing to pay for copying, shipping, and fee for your trouble. Thanks, Richard |

I believe Sporty's Aviation has originals of the poster but right now I
can't lay my hands on my Sporty's catalog. I've seen them other places, too, and not just Oshkosh. You shouldn't have trouble finding a "real" one.

Thanks, Richard No, I think you are speaking of a picture taken of a real accident in which a Cherokee crashed into a tree near the airport in marginal weather. From the outside the Cherokee looks fine but the pilot suffered some injuries as I recall. I think this is it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/airplane/flightschool.asp There are various versions out there, some are doctored. -robert |

The "Learn to Fly" sign actually faces the other way. The picture was doctored to show the face of the sign rather than the back (to make it more funny). If you look at the second picture facing the other direction you can see that now the sign faces the other way. -robert |
