The only thing that would make that ad better is if the guy had a half chewed stogie hanging out of his mouth.
Where did they find that guy?

If this forum ever sponsors a gathering, we should require that all members must arrive wearing such a hat !

I assumed he was someone associated with Aurora that provided the demonstration for Mechanix Illustrated ! Now, all I have to do is find the April 1960 issue...THEN we'll know !!!!

The one question that no-one has asked yet..................
Who flies control line on the side of a 45deg hill? or is it just that his eyesight is as bad as his dress sense? (Mind you, I have trousers like his!)

Yes, I bet his bartender has to listen to all his flying disasters!

I have overalls like that too, except I usually wear them when I am underneath my pickup..........
Perhaps that was Aurora's marketing strategy. The average blue collar guy buying a cheap CL to fly after he get's off shift. Or in this case after work and after the bar which is why he chose a gravel pit as a suitable flying site.

With it STARTING at $250, it's too nice for me !!!! I could never reenact the "Gravel Pit Scene" with a clear conscience!!!! Guess I'll have to keep looking, along with trips to Good Will to assemble my ensemble !
