The headline on the current TAC Air FBO chain’s direct-mail publicity campaign reads, “Showing you our love by giving you the bird.” But “the bird” in this case is not the classic New Jersey Turnpike salute, but rather a fully restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird– the classic two-seater upon which the current upscale Thunderbird is based. Pilots have the rest of this month to register for the prize at any of the 10 TAC Air FBOs. The limit is one entry per day, and registrants must be at least 18 years old. TAC Air president Greg Arnold will flip the keys to the ’bird to the winner during next month’s NBAA Convention in Las Vegas.

Vintage horsepower enthusiasts can plan their upcoming trips with the following list of TAC Air facilities in mind: Amarillo, Texas; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Denver, Colo.; Fort Smith, Ark.; Greenville, S.C.; Windsor Locks, Conn.; Lexington, Ky.; Omaha, Neb.; Shreveport, La.; and its headquarters facility in Texarkana, Ark.
