Patterned after vintage signs from the 1920s and 1930s, Sporty's Humorous Signs have a weathered, old-style look. "Four Forces of Flight" aren't what you're taught in ground school. Rather, the sign illustrates the Four Forces as money, dreams, the FAA and reality. "FAA Mission" isn't a lofty bureaucratic discourse. The signs measure 24x12 inches and come with four holes for mounting. They're ideal for mounting in a hangar or office. Contact www.sportys.com.
