Default Who or what is your planes pilot?

I think that all planes need to have a pilot or they look "naked." Let's see what your pilot figure is.

Here is a picture of my recently sold Sig SE with "Daffy Duck" at the controls.

I used Mickey Mouse in a Falcon 56. Quit using Barbie, as she always crashed. The Doghouse had Snoopy, of course...
I am saving for a "Klyde Morris" doll for the DR-1 on my building board..

I've got a Garfield in my SE, Blue in my UCD, and Squidward in my slow fly mustang. I'll rustle up some pics soon.

Kudos on Garfield. He is in my old Skytiger. That has to be the ugliest of my planes because it is so beat up. But I have to take it to fun-flys because the little kids just love to see Garfield.

My friend sculpted me a Snoopy in a full Marine flight helmet and goggles for my Corsair. I'll try to get a pick once Snoopy's painted.

TIGGER, Best darn "PLT" in the whole dang universe.
Have a TIGGER in every plane I fly. Present fleet- 7 in the air.

I always used the little Troll dolls, the ones with the bug eyes and wild hair. The looks on their faces were generally very consistent with what a real person might feel like had they been riding in the seat of my planes for a flight!

He...Wants to Rock and Roll all night..... And party every day.....




I plan on hooking up the rudder to him, as he has a dowel up his bum and spins. What can I say, 3 bucks at Toy's R Us.

Ok?

Marvin The Martian in my 4*60. Marge, Homer, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson in my Lazy Bee. For my deHavilland Beaver, I'm looking for a Dudley Do-right (or Inspector Fenwick).

Pics to follow (eventually)...

I am putting the Incredible Hulk in my new Cap232, Hay! Crash Johnson.. Did you know that alot of the Kiss figurienes are collectables now.
There was a guy in my club that had Fred Flintstone in his Four star Sixty and had his bottom half hanging out the bottom of the plane.

My GWS Tiger Moth has a Williams Bros military pilot that I painted. I call him Nigel," sometimes "bloody Nigel." As in "It's all bloody Nigel's fault, innit?"

And this is why. Bahhh for 3 bucks I'll let him pilot my plane.

I've also thought about sticking the legs out the bottom, and perhaps hooking them to the opposite side of the rudder horn so it looks like he is dancing when I turn. Maybe over the winter. I may also give it a white / black/grey covering job with some KISS effects. Wanted something easily visable, so I went with the red/white/blue design.

Here is who is flying my Four Star 60


Here is a link to another thread I started in Questions and Answers last year that has quite a few replys. I kind of wish we could get these altogether into one post or at least the same forum.

I tried to find that post a few days ago to add my Gene Simmons, but the search feature doesn't seem to want to cooperate on my (many) computers.

Flyboy, that is probably the coolest pilot I've seen

Bart Simpson flys my shoestring, he does well, just put Lisa in a Sig SE, but she has been on a shelf for 12 years for crashing my Zlin. Bart was in the back of that, but Lisa was flying it. The big ones don't have pilots. I gotta get on that.
