By any chance did he mention how big they are? I'm just thinking that if they are only 2 or 3 inches it might look a little silly hooked to the car.


Not that size is a concern to a Corvette owner

A company called "ICOM" hands out key chains about 6" long at most aviation-related shows. Your local community airport probably stocks them in various sizes.

There were some Corvette tags made a few years ago. Are they the ones you meant?



I never could work out how to use it to prevent the flying roof club. Mine lives on my old flying helmet now

Seen hundreds of them at an Air Show two weekends ago. Real ones on planes, and a huge variety for sale in the vendor booths.

I have them attached to the jacking pucks I use at the track. Before I got them there were some incidents. (If anybody misses turn 7 at Infineon look around for a red puck while you're out there in the dirt)

Just curious what in a plane does it actually hold in place? The ejection seat release or something?

They have this at the top of the description:


PILOT KEY RING REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT CORVETTE 4-KEYRING SET
COLLECTIBLE KEY RING SERIES, CORVETTE 2090310
CORVETTE® KEY RING IS APPROXIMATELY 4" (W)

So does that mean 4" wide?

This may be a far shot but are there any similarities between flying a jet and driving a vette ?
