Planeform Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Hey guys - quick post to share something I think will be of interest here. I'm a Navy pilot by trade - metal fabricator in my spare time...I've got a small side gig going making custom aviation metal art and novelties and I think you guys will like it. The bottle openers I make are in the shape of your favorite air frame...if it isn't on my site, I'm capable of making it; just ask! Thanks for looking and feel free to hit me up with any requests. www.planeform.com Best, -Flanders 1
Ram Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 A word of caution to the uninitiated: F-15 shaped openers will only work on bottles of Zima and wine coolers. 18
Guest Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 And the C-5 bottle opener will only work about 20% of the time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
TreeA10 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I was thinking that same thing about the Hawg but you have to make the opener out of titanium. 1

Planeform Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 For consideration as well - we make sweet wall art! 1
Lawman Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 For consideration as well - we make sweet wall art! Wow that's sick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Question on the bottle openers, have you tried anything with rotors? Just curious how they hold up to bending. 1
Planeform Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 The helicopters I have listed all work well...the stainless ones are substantially tougher than CR steel, I doubt you could bend one without maliciously trying! Thanks for the compliment on the wall art!
Breckey Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Does the CV-22 opener have the power to work on the Colorado beers? 4

It was a jab at the Osprey's lack of high DA hover capability. Half of the posts here are going to be ripping on other aircraft.

(Just kidding, Planeform) I made a pretty funny / similar post on the Planeform Facebook page about the F35 opener as well. " After many blunders, the #f35 program can at least claim that the aircraft can open a beer, haha! Happy Thursday from Planeform" 1

DEVIL Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Shameless Plug for Planeform and Flanders, they did a bulk order of SICK T-38's and U-2's for the guys at Beale in flat black that came out frickin' sweet. 2
