Never know when you are in a prang, incapacitated or body charred( :shock:)

Make life easier for Med-o-vac staff too if you are injured!

I do not mind making them. (can do it at a small cost)
If i can get a supplier of the Stainless plates then i can make them ## ## ## ##

Pity you didn't check it the last time we flew together.... :roll: :roll:
Next time I'll do the flying. At least when I fly we land WITH a prop (it might have a few little yellow flowers stuck to it but at least its still attached to the plane :lol: )
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

Great idea.
Try Jaguar Stainless (Germiston) for a price in 2mm sheet stainless steel offcutts.
you could make a many of these "DOG TAGS"
I know that i would buy one.....name your price after labour and costs.
Many would buy..of that im certain.
Good one.

I fly my dream days preceding my flight and the morning i wake up my flight starts. i don’t rush a single bit just take it in my stride. if i run late 2nd plan, so we won’t be going there today, we are going there (!!) . I love the pre-flight on the aircraft, the pre-flight upon myself and pax. I am totally overwhelmed by the sound of the prop cutting into the air as we fire up ($$) ($$) ($$) i too also climb in on the left side and please i want do tags too :!:
Man small...why fall?..Skies call...that's all.
