Default Font help needed!!!

Ok guys I need some help. So I have been wanting another tattoo like I said in another post a couple of days ago. I wanted something that meant something this time. So clearly I am a airplane junky so something airplaneish'. I have been into model planes since I was 12 years old and my first Cox PT-19 control liner...good times ...good times...anywho.....even though I had built dozen of models both RC and CL I next felt "good" enough to fly with other people...till I met the crazy guys here in North Carolina. Really it was the first time I met Raymond that I felt like I wouldn't be judged by my flying and building skills. He really made me feel at home. Over the last couple few years we became the Carolina Crew as our group grows each time we get together. It's always a highlight for me when we all get together. Thanks to Rog for getting us a place to fly together! I have never heard an ugly word from or towards any of the crew "members" just laughs and alot of knee slapping at the gatherings. So I am wanting to make up a bad***** tattoo. So after alittle work I have a skull with prop blades sticking out from behind it. I want to put "Carolina Crew" under it I think or someplace and if really want to add "Fly or Die" someplace too but my brain is dead I guess. SO you crazy guys any ideas? Plus I need help with finding a bad***** font for the lettering. I want this to be like a hardcore gang tattoo type feel to it..feel me bro?

LAter,
Tim

Wow Tim, that is one wild design! Kinda puts me in mind of some of my wife's relatives.

Seriously, somehow I think military template-like font is a fit. I don't know what to call it but its what they would use as a spray paint template - with the little connecting tabs within the letters. Or maybe lettering that looks like flames.

skaliwag,

I LOVE that!

P.S. Give me a buzz tomorrow if you get a minute or I'll buzz you.

Dave,

I looked over 1001font.com as I have used it before. But my brain just wasn't liking anything tonight


LAter,
Tim

I saw that listed as USAF font once.
