Safety Mascot

Post by Steve90266 »

OP, flippin' HILARIOUS!
Likely Steve maybe thinking of a magazine from his flying days with the Marines. The Navy and Marine corps have a Naval Aviation Safety magazine where a featured section from "Grandpa Pettibone" would "review" mishaps or near mishaps and comment on them.
Chip, that's exactly what I was thinking about. I remembered 'ol Granpa Pettibone from my flying days. I always found his observations helpful and sometimes humorous.

Having a safety mascot is obviously not THE most important thing to help make the club safer, but it is one little thing. And a lot of little things hopefully add up to big things down the road.

I am not sure how to word it but the military would not waste effort on mascots if it did not pay off for them.

Just imagine the USS Forrestal disaster averted by mascot training.

Ah, Steve, Steve, Steve. Looks like a job for Cap'n Hook... In, that is.

Yeah, that's it!
Cap'n Hook-In.

Steve, you better wrap this up quick before... well, you know.

Captain Hook-In beats Gamera and Mothra hands down.

Note:
There were some shga playing cards back in the active-media/shga days
where members had a photo on each card. The site is taken down though.

OK, Steve. Mascot loaded. Take a look at your Member Photos entry.

Which should serve as a New Year's reminder to all pilots not listed there (who wish to be) to send me a photo or ask someone to take your picture and send it to me with a short flight bio or whatever you want to replace what I will make up about you if you don't.

Safety begins with knowing who we're telling they screwed-up, right?

Thanks! [/img]

OK, Jim. Very funny. I get it. Captain "Hook In Check". Very Funny. Hilarious. I'd of preferred if you stuck the hook on my hand, but ah well. Guess it will have to do. Shouldn't the photo you use of me look a little more rogue? Come to think of it, I don't think I have any "rogue" photos.

I'm going to use it though.

I've decided I'm going to rotate through the mascots. I think I'm going to start with OPs. That one is frickin' HILARIOUS and really puts the point across.

Let the games begin. Any others, please fee free to submit.

You're right, Steve and the next time you're out, I'll be happy to take a photo of you showing your roguish side. My daughter has the perfect hat for you, so give me some notice. As for the placement of the hook. I think I got it right the first time. It's life-like, no?

Hook hat

Post by Steve90266 »

I think it makes me look devilishly handsome. That's a French Hook Hat design, right? I prefer the Italian designs, but whatever.

Well, I decided to go with Snappy for the first Mascot. I plan to rotate through them, so keep those cards and letters coming.

Also, if you'd like to see a safety tip posted, write it up and send it to me.

Nope, it's a prothetic device to replace the one you were born with and lost on one of your flights.

Steve, you're too nice a guy (not to mention, devilishly handsome) to pick on this way.

I'll have to think up a safety conncection for LawnDart. Or even LawnChair... Let's see, "No flying is Safe flying..." (But hard on your liver).

I'll keep working on it.

You mention Training and Luck but you forget to mention Courage is important in the safety balance.

We might be able to use the Character Captain Hook from Peter Pan due to a copyright issue.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_ ... ght_status
"....United States
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) claims that U.S. legislation effective in 1978 and again in 1998, which extended the copyright of the play script published in 1928, gives them copyright over "Peter Pan" in general until 2023, although GOSH acknowledges that the copyright of the novel version, published in 1911, has expired in the United States.[20]
Previously, GOSH's claim of U.S. copyright had been contested by various parties. J. E. Somma sued GOSH to permit the U.S. publication of her sequel After the Rain, A New Adventure for Peter Pan. GOSH and Somma settled out of court in March 2005, issuing a joint statement which characterised her novel – which she had argued was a commentary on the original work, rather than a mere derivative of it – as "fair use" of the hospital's "U.S. intellectual property rights". Their confidential settlement did not set any legal precedent, however.[21] Disney was a long-time licensee to the animation rights, and cooperated with the hospital when its copyright claim was clear, but in 2004 Disney published Dave Barry's and Ridley Pearson's Peter and the Starcatchers in the U.S., the first of several sequels, without permission and without making royalty payments. In 2006, Top Shelf Productions published in the U.S. Lost Girls, a pornographic graphic novel featuring Wendy Darling, also without permission or royalties..."
