I was issued new plates again, The State didnt like the old look I guess so before I put them on ,I figured I've done enough Advertising for the Dealer.
Looked around the web and found this site ran by a Father and Son who happened to be \"Ex USAF Fighter Jocks\"
http://www.usaircombat.com/
They have a good selection and will do custom work too I talked to the
Son (Lt Col) and he was very helpful. I had custom ones made.

So I thought I'd just pass along the info if anyone is interested.

From their webpage...

Quote:
A pompous minister was seated next to a Crew Chief on a Flight to Texas. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Crew Chief asked for a whiskey, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink.

He replied in disgust, \"I'd rather be savagely raped by brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\"

The Crew Chief then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, \"Me too. I didn't know we had a choice.\"

I ordered mine Saturday Hogsnort, I asked him for what he thought would look good and fit and this was one of his 3 picks

USAF A-10 WARTHOG
DESERT STORM CREWCHIEF

so I ordered that one

here was another idea

IF YOU CAN’T GO FAST,GO UGLY
A-10 THUNDERBOLT II

there was alot of ideas, plus you dont pay until you get your frames. If you dont like them tell them, they want to make you happy.

I came up with a real good one for the 23rd TASS for Desert Storm
They have the Nam version ,but Todays version would be what those guys always told us when we worked together

23rd TASS NAIL FAC
Nail'em Down and FAC'EM!

So many ideas, too few trucks.

thanks for the link goose

I too just had to get a new plate, we went from the ugly \"over 15 years now\" blue to white or this design:

Image

im going to email them to see if they can do a non-military version, which im sure wouldnt be a problem, but i think im going to do this:

07 Silverado Classic 4X4
(Insert Plate Space)
\"Skuzerado\"

Really like the A-10 one Goose, and a friend of mine here at work, was a NAIL FAC during Nam, flew OV-10's back then. I'm going to pass this link on to him too.

I'm thinking about ordering 2 different ones. One reflective of my time on A-10's and another of my time in CATM.

Thanks again Goose, this is a great site, and I'll be sure to let them know where I heard about them from.

I’ve had these for a few years now, maybe it's time to take them off and refurbish them when the weather gets warmer.

The Col told me, what ever you want on them as long as its no more than 25 letters per top and bottom.

Mine should be here by Friday or Saturday when they get here I'll show you what they look like.

Their not Metal, their heavy plastic , I thought about the \"Tin \" ones and figured they'll go bad in this climate ,besides these will be easier to clan.
I read their comments section and the other parts of their site, Hey any one who will send you the items before paying for them and you decide then has to be pretty confident .

Plus they say great things about CrewChiefs, what else is there? :D

I got my Frames Friday, pretty good since shipping is FREE, and 2 Blizzards I still got them in 5 days [shock] :mrgreen:

They look great! they are not CHEAPLY MADE, their heavy so I know they'll last ,and the way they do the printing is VERY NICE!
I'm glad I found those Fighter Pilots making these, now I just wish I had more places to use them :wink: [lol]
Plus they make them for your States Plate so they dont cover up the Sticker.
