If you have the old paper license, this would be a great time to accidentally lose or destroy it. The plastic card rocks. Has a 737 and the Wright Flyer on the front, and the little FAA hologram, and the Wright Brothers' faces on the back. Color is greenish. The FAA did a good job with this one. -c Back to top Robert M.

I think there are a couple different ones. My commercial ticket has a nice pic. My CFI ticket has the tail of the Wright Flyer on top of the face of one of the brothers. It look me a bit to figure out that he did not have a birth defect. -Robert Back to top Jim Burns Guest Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2004 8:53 pm    Post subject: Re: Got my Wright Bros license Wanna see something really neat? Look close at the vertical and horizontal lines of the flyer and the neck and shoulder lines of Wil and Orvy... it's microprint from a speech Blakey gave about the 100th anniversary.

That was a *really cool* "Wright Bros license." Indeed it is! Met Bob Hoover one time and almost got the courage to ask him to autograph the back inside cover of my logbook, but I chickened out and he autographed his book instead. -c Back to top Corky Scott Guest Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:35 pm    Post subject: Re: Got my Wright Bros license On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 14:53:49 -0600, "Jim Burns" <jburns3 (AT) nospamuniontel (DOT) net> wrote: Quote: Wanna see something really neat?

Jim I'm of two minds about this information: 1. Cute technology. 2. I hope, I REALLY hope that they did this to make it difficult to replicate for forgers, and not as some kind of flattery to Blakey. If it is an anti forgery technology, do all FBO's have to buy a microscope to verify that the entire speech is there?

Your PC's scanner suffices to make the micro text legible. --Gary Quote: Corky Scott Back to top gatt Guest Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 8:49 pm    Post subject: Re: Got my Wright Bros license "Corky Scott" <charles.k.scott (AT) dddartmouth (DOT) edu> wrote in message Quote: If it is an anti forgery technology, do all FBO's have to buy a microscope to verify that the entire speech is there? No, but if there's a question as to the authenticity, they could check with a magnifying glass. It also has the holo image as well. I have no idea how difficult or easy it is to fake that. -c Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Aviation (Students) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
