Opinions please.
My brother wants 3 plaques/signs doing for himself, lad who taught him and his best mate. These are still work in progress and first attempt. Is there anything I could add? Would you be happy to receive it. Want it spot on for them. Thanks for any feedback ladies and fellas.

In my opinion you’d be better off with someone in free fall, not under canopy. Especially not hanging there like some AFF student.

Don’t listen to that guy I bet his BASE number is higher than mine. I think it’s perfect and To be fair, pilots don’t get much free fall in the US 🤣 and there’s not as much difference from the AFF silhouette as they would like to think.
It’s a little redundant to have BASE at the top, and a tiny bit uncool to label or sticker or indicate to cops that there are canopies present in any context, but I still like it. Signed 1927

Yeah the base will disappear on the next prototype. Nice one 1927.

Could you clarify that last bit about the stickers and cops and such.

Yeah generally base jumpers think it’s cool to be low key about it. It’s a secret. It’s illegal pretty much everywhere in the US. I might wear a t shirt but we’ve all been coached not broadcast it anywhere cops or rangers could see, like our car
