NT5224 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yesterday was my birthday and my gorgeous wife presented me with a very personal little gift -a tiny flying fox- she knitted as a mascot for our cockpit. He's about two inches tall and soft, so no hazard and I have just the spot for him on the dashboard. In true aviator style he's got a leather helmet and goggles and scarf... :) Does anybody else fly with a mascot? Alan 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan I knew a couple of pilots who usually took a "Pilot-Bear" along with them. I have one too, but it's so old, the poor buggars goggles are falling apart and his not much of a help.

KRviator Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The previous KRviatrix bought me the Red Bearon Beanie Bear as a present well over a decade ago. He has lived in each car I've owned since, standing guard on the forward part of the center console. His little tag has the quote: Bearon is here to celebrate; A special and historic date; To mark 100 years of flight; And to honor the brothers Wright!

mnewbery Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I take this with me to air shows. Occasionally I show it to people who come to the front door asking for a donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've seen a photo of a couple who were totally bare in a trike. I suppose they had nothing on, so went flying to pass the time. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
