Title: Signalling Panel
Post by: Trung Si Ma on March 16, 2010, 12:50:57 PM
Anyone have a source for ground-air signalling panels?  I'm having a local seamstress make me a small one (24" x 24", orange on one side, OD on the other) to use for training and testing, but I'd like to have some of the larger ones to throw in the van.

Fellow light blue disk wearing Dude -

I have VS-17 panels, but don't want to leave those in the van to be "reallocated".  Last time I was a DZSO (back in the really dark ages), the USAF CCT had some 4' x 4' panels of the same color and that is what I'm looking for right now.

LOL.

Gotcha.  I had acquired so many VS-17s that it was okay to leave them in the van...locked up of course.

Sorry, thought you were looking for VS17s.
