Aviation Business Idea
Yep. I buy 'em when I see 'em. On a side note: I rented a plane in Las
Vegas during our February visit the last couple years. The first year I
looked for a T-shirt or hat for a souvenir-nope. Last year the had some
polo shirts (too espensive) or a hat (proced right) with their logo on
it. One important note: Make sure your FBO logo says where you are.
This FBO at North Las Vegas had nothing in their logo that said where
they were.

Mary had this brainstorm the other day; I present it here for your
opinion...
Every Harley dealer in America seems to have their own custom-designed
T-shirt. Usually it's got the Harley-Davidson logo, combined with the local
dealer's name, and some recognizable symbol. Our local Harley shop has the
old State Capitol on his (the most historic and recognizable symbol of Iowa
City), for example.
Many (most?) Harley owners seem to collect these shirts. Wherever they
visit, (and we've had Harley rider guests who have done this), they make a
bee-line to the local dealer, to buy their shirt. It's kind of a neat
tradition.
Why not do something similar at airports? If each FBO had a snazzy T-shirt
that was specific and unique to *their* FBO, and their location, would you
not buy it? I know I would.
Mary has often remarked about how cold and stand-off-ish so many FBOs are
(with some major exceptions, of course), and how it would be great to be
able to purchase souvenirs from local airports along our many cross-country
flights. This T-shirt idea would be slick, because (a) it would fill a
perceived need, (b) it wouldn't represent much of an investment from always
cash-strapped FBOs, and (c) there are tens of thousands of airports, all
over the country.
Anyone out there own a T-shirt shop? Could not, say, the Wizard of Draws
be employed creating unique designs for each airport?
Does this dog hunt?
