Cool Zaps/Stickers

Some years ago, there were many humerous or clever zaps/bumper stickers/able labels about. The (original?) classic was simply

"Fighter Pilots do it Better".

A couple of others that followed were:

'Happiness is Kinloss in your Rear View Mirror'

At Gutersloh after the Lightnings left and the Bona Jets moved in:-

'Eat a Harrier Pilot, after all 2,000,000 flies can't be wrong'

What have you got??

I still think the one I have in the back of my car is spot on:- Glider pilots do it quietly.

I really liked:- Give Blood......Play Rugby.

Eighty Four Coarse - Thrusting Into The Nineties...

You had to see the zap to really appreciate it......I believe many Staish's at cranwell had it painted over.

Any of you chaps out there?.......

Still don't think you can beat the current ELUAS one.

Logo the BT bloke holding a pint instead of a trumpet thing and "It's good to Squawk (7700)" !!!

Look out for this coming to a ski-lift near you soon.

How about best place you've put a zap as well. Got one on the old space shuttle booster at the lookout point at Kennedy. Probably now removed by fun police.

12Sqn Buccaneer groundcrew at Honington painted up the immaculate RAAF F-111 visiting for Aunty Betty's Jubilee do at Finningley. The Aussies stopped over at Hon just before or after the event, can't remember.
Anyway, 12Sqn's badge is a Fox's mask & the paintjob on the Pig was of a Fox with a rather large penis giving one to the Aussie roundel's kangaroo and saying:"Say Beep, Beep now you Bas*ard".
There was also a Bona T-bird that came back to Wittering from a French exchange visit distempered overall in pink and white polka dots.

"Jet Noise - The Sound of Freedom" still rings true. Cars at V*ll*y bearing stickers saying "British Force of Occupation - Anglesey" were banned by the staish many years ago!

There is a Classic from 8 Sqn re the convertion from Shack to Nim stating
I WOULD RATHER HAVE 8 SCREWS THAN FOUR BLOW JOBS.
Also I saw one re the Harrier stating ITS A LOT LESS BOTHER IN A HOVER.

15/15 Flex

Still got a mug, but too embarrassed to bring it out in public these days. Painting of zap in crewroom last as long as first visit by the Staish.

Have to concur with EESDL (first time ever) 20% flap takes some beating.

In the early nineties LUAS got a Queen's Flight 146 grounded back at base for 2 days for a full airframe search after a Squadron zap had been placed inside the port undercarriage bay on a trip to Woodvale.

Same APO also stuck two see-through zaps to the headlights of the staff car of the Staish at Leuchars during one happy hour on Summer Camp. When he came to drive off, it was like 2 Batman signals on every building he passed! How we laughed, even after the reprisals !

There's one or two of Dubya's finest flying KC-135's around with "This Object the Property of **** ***** Wing Air Training Corps, If Found Please Return to ****** ********" after RIAT 2000 at Cottesmore last year...I don't even think the bloke that ende up with one on the back of his hat noticed...

(edited because I realised it might be a bit incriminating in the light of other "appropriations" at another RAF station, namely Camp Cranditz/Kosovo later that year...)
