Title: Sporty's Wright Brothers Collection
Post by: Hawker25 on November 13, 2008, 12:01:27 AM

I ordered a new headset from sporty's and they sent me this catalog.  It has tons of cool ww2 memorabilia in it and with Christmas coming i thought i would share.  The stuff that really caught my eye was the scale models that are signed by ww2 aces such as Clarence "Bud" Anderson, Chuck Yeager, and many others there is even a 109 signed by Gunther Rall.  Just thought Id share.  Here is the web address and they will also send you a catalog for free is you request one.

I got to sportys all the time.  Used to fly-in, but now I just drive.  Live about 15 minutes from it.

Sporty's???????

Why shop there?  Check this out and then give me a call.  Ask for Matt.  Will do whatever I can to beat their price.

Nice headset.  Wish my wife would let me get one.  Better than the Bose even.

The collectables in the Wright Brothers Collection is awesome.  A guy here at work gave me his regular Sporty's catalog and the Wright Brothers One.  Definitely getting some Christmas presents from there.  :aok

yea had my first flight with the zulu today.  Started the engine with the anr off just to see the difference and when i switched it on i couldn't even hear the engine anymore.  Was amazing.  Hopefully now i wont be walking around at night going "what did you say" all night.

I am glad you guys liked the stuff i figured people would and might not get to  see the stuff otherwise if not in the aviation world.
