Can anyone suggest a good place for getting zaps printed?  I haven't found one with a min order under 100 yet.

Check out the bottom section; proofs cost $15, after that it depends on size... I'd say ask the unit members to pitch in as I'd think they would all enjoy having a few.

I second MikeD's question, though- anyone know of a better place?

I found www.zazzle.com (Google is a wonderful thing, found it by accident looking for what the regulation size for a zap is).  Only 3" but I'll try to post on how they come out.  Ordering some with the project logo and hoping they get here by Friday (Sat flight).

That's my squadron! This is the pilot's patch, it was probably Major Gluck. He travels a lot

Ask him for me.  I'd like to know if I have to send an agent down to GA for retaliation :)

Yes-sir, it was him. You might want to watch out for your agent though, we have a lot of former Rangers down here, no one has dared zap us yet

Psh... A visit and a zap? I think that sounds like a challenge, Top!

Just remember the Rules of Engagement for Zapping - Do not put them on a surface that will be damaged by either the sticker or it's removal.

Guess that leaves out any painted efforts?  ;)

And now we know why you got in trouble for your zaps while I didn't get into trouble.

Stickers are also much quicker to apply which makes detection that much harder!

You want some inexpensive, small quantity stickers made, check out Stickermule, http://www.stickermule.com

I used them to make some die cut stickers for my son's Cross Country team and they did an awesome job.

I was looking at those guys. Did the final product have that white border, or is that just the backing?

I never got in trouble. I got an Attaboy from my division officer for the quality of the work. He was a former metalsmith, and had painting training. The average avionics tech wasn't even allowed to carry paint cans, spray or otherwise. I was a notable exception.

Paint was the medium back then, cuz stickers weren't nearly as common or cheap to get. I do agree on their efficiency and difficulty of detection.

Part of the fun was watching the tin-benders trying to remove them... :D

Actually, it wasn't that hard. The paint used on the planes was tougher than the rattle-can touch-up stuff we used, so a swipe or two with some lacquer thinner usually did the trick. The F-111 paint was a whole nother story, though, being a matte finish. Oh, well.  >:D

You did this to get back at me for lose/loose, didn't you?  *twitch*  It was a finger slip-up.  I swear!   :'(

Who gave you this info?  You must have spoken with someone who knows that makes me twitch.   >:D

As much of a jerk as I can be about languages skills, I still like to have fun with the language. If you see a gross misteak in one of my posts, it's likely that it's intentional.

Me too.  I prefer to use Shakespeare's word creation habit as excuse for my own word-making.

I'm not convinced, sir- are you sure it isn't dinnertime? ;D

The funny thing is that most of us have a username that gets the RedLineOfDeath from the spell checker- but my real name gets the same thing, so oh well.
