It's a size relativity thing, @SquirrelTail is sort of small, makes the plane look bigger than it is
Mine comes from my name, been throwing this around since I was 20ish, when I worked for a Little Caesar's Pizza doing pizza delivery.
Couple of us guys who were delivery drivers had a party after work, and some of them got drunk. One guy, Craig, looked at me and said, "You know, you look like...who's that guy from the Jolly Green Giant commercials? Sprout?"
Another one looked at me and in his smashed stupor, said, "Spr..frzz...Sprzzz..Sprzout!"
Next thing I know, everyone was using it at work, and it stuck. They even got me a keychain for Christmas that had Lil' Sprout, and it just kinda snowballed from there, so I kept using it...

Cool, you have grown some then. I figured the fence next to you in the picture was a 4ft, instead it's a 6ft.
Lol - if it was 4 feet that would make him more like 3’5” 🤣🤣

Mine is from an incredibly smokey day at home, flying with my friend with our matching HZ Super Cubs. His camera took some incredible pics and this was by far the best.... STOL FTW!
That’s really great - I love it!

When the step dad died we went to the island and helped mom move to a condo and pare down on her house "stuff". The kid brother was into that foolishness where you don armor and beat on each other for fun. He no longer used it and it was going into the dumpster so I saved it. There is another fella on here that has one also, so I figured what the heck.
I used to do that stuff when I was younger too, but there was more involved than just beating on each other. There was also drinking!

I think I am the "Other Guy"!
Mine was chosen to suit my email account name and the simple fact that sadly I do not back down on much of anything! The original owner of the helmet would stand at point blank range and blast away at the police as he faced a police force that hated all Irish with a passion and believed they were all criminals. Having had my family also emigrate from Ireland, (from Scotland before that, from Denmark before that, from Scotland before that, from Ireland before that, and originally from Spain, all in just over 2000 years). It is time to stand my ground!
Have fun!
Nice. Have you built the ft P-40?
