A long time ago on TOTV, I read that The Villages will not allow TOTV to advertise in "The Daily Sun."

When I heard that, I thought, "Hey, why not hire a pilot to tow a banner around -- like maybe on a parade day." (I know that's not skywriting so maybe I am hijacking this thread. Sort of. But it is kind of on the general topic of advertising in the sky. Those pilots are usually advertising something..... or asking somebody to marry somebody maybe.)

Hey! Mr.Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir! Was that you up there? Geez. Trying to write "Talk of the Villages" followed by a .com just does not work. And besides, skywriting disappears too fast. You get a lot more bang for the buck with a banner.

Mr. Tony, please listen to me. Next time, get a banner. Banners are reusable. Just do a low fly-by and drop it gently before you land. Like maybe in a grassy area. TH will probably wait there for it and pick it up. And then it will be all ready for the next parade day.
