You know you're a geek when you can't resist buying one of these to use as a keychain :p:

Oh, i've seen those around, i'm jonesing for a set
 
The "remove before flight' thing is on all of them, only one side of the keychain varies.

I should get the whole set the next time I'm going around that area.
 
I've seen a set with different writing actually, 3 or 4 different text
 
The ones down at that particular store all had the same "Remove before flight" script.

Regardless, its still awesome.

Thanks! That appears to be right, but it begs the question. Why does someone in Oklahoma own 2 hawker hunters?... weird. :think:


Edit: Through the help of google I found this tidbit...
The one without a tail is F.6A XK149,being restored to flying condition by Aero Group, Inc of Tulsa. The one with the tail is Hunter T.8M XL603 and is a very rare T.8M Sea Harrier training variant.

Once jets become available to the public, the move all over the world. For instance, there is a MiG-15 in Cahokia, IL at Parks College Airport. Or at least it was there when I was in college, I haven't been to the airport in years. Belongs to some random guy who flies it around just for fun.
 
I'm sure this particular pic has been posted before, but anyway.
