AIRCRAFT WATCHERS AUTOGRAPH SHEET |
| Our Aircraft Watchers Autograph Sheet contains the aircraft that are open to visitors and even has space for a pilot or crewmember to sign next to their aircraft. This is a great way for kids and adults that are looking to get autographs from crewmembers to get them all on one sheet. The sheet does not contain those aircraft that are not open to the public such as aircraft that are at the show that are here to perform only, or do not have crews available to sign the sheet. Download and print the sheet to take with you to the air show to make sure you don’t miss any of these great aircraft! It's great for kids wanting to get autographs!! |
