It can often become very uncomfortable in the airplane, especially after a few hours when you realize you drank too much coffee before take-off! However, if you are burned-out from instructing and simply want a fun Summer job, consider towing banners. You'll meet a lot of fun people who truly love their job, and you'll learn a lot about fuel management, crab angles and airplane performance. Contact me at Aerial Sign North, and we'll talk about getting you started in this fun job! - Tom Finelli, CFII / Banner pilotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904996268718877247.post-33303239455412919752014-04-02T02:25:23.611-06:002014-04-02T02:25:23.611-06:00What a great experience of the aerial banner towin...What a great experience of <a href="http://www.skywriting.com.au/index.php?page=skywriting-flying-banners-brisbane-sydney-melbourne-adelaide-australia-arial-banner-towing" rel="nofollow">the aerial banner towing</a> means totally great and fantastic I am just imaging that it would be so amazing and adventurous too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116997070168142672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904996268718877247.post-27625608558368944102012-07-27T13:56:35.810-06:002012-07-27T13:56:35.810-06:00Anon, you are the one who should get a clue.
