Default looking for an aviation poster

unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.".

It was a gift. *I've looked around and can't find another. *I heard
they used to be sold at Oshkosh years ago. *If anyone has an
original, and is willing to make a photo quality copy, I would be
more than willing to pay for copying, shipping, and fee for your
trouble.

No, I think you are speaking of a picture taken of a real accident in
which a Cherokee crashed into a tree near the airport in marginal
weather. From the outside the Cherokee looks fine but the pilot
suffered some injuries as I recall.
I think this is it.

various versions out there, some are doctored.


No, the poster he's talking about was commonplace a few years ago.
