Re: Fun T-Shirt

I should have asked the guy I saw wearing it at sun-n-fun where he got it

I suspect he had it custom made as I have not seen it anywhere and a google search finds nothing

if you can make it, put me down for one

Re: Fun T-Shirt

saw this on a shirt someone was wearing at sun-n-fun last week

I can't find it anywhere online as a shirt, just this jpg in an avid flyer forum, I'm guessing he had the shirt made custom from a jpg

the front said "REAL MEN FLY TAILDRAGGERS" the jpg was on the back

Re: TL3000 Sirius vs Tecnam P2008

I was aware that SLSA was not possible but I was under the impression that E-AB or maybe even ELSA would be doable exhibition would be very limiting the AOPA gives the impression that this is almost routine.... I guess maybe it is for certified planes, many years ago I knew a guy who brought a Cessn...
