Fonts for Pilot's Name
For those of you who have put your name just below the canopy, what font's have you used? I'm still years away from needing it, but it's fun to dream, right? Pictures would be greatly appreciated too.

The font style is Brush Script. It and most other graphics were provided by AeroGraphics.

I called a local sign/vinyl shop, and told them I wanted my name and call sign for my airplane, and told them what they were. In about ten minutes, she emailed me the art - the name in a brush script, and the call sign underneath it in a military stencil look. I asked her if she'd done this before.....

Very timely, as I just added the name graphics after the new paint job. I used a font called "Rocket." It was used on several older cars, including (if I'm not mistaken) Corvettes in the 50s and 60s. Got the signs done at a local shop.

Steve,
I had to research the invoice to get that one.....the size is listed as 1.5" X 12" printed in Geranium Red.
