Why are they red with flames in the grill? I thought they were a new Airport Fire Department, but I guess they tried that one once…unsuccessfully.

Jerry Howard and his staff at the airport. They recognized the added expense and the unwanted attention and made the right decision to remove them.

EDITOR NOTE–Not only does he do the right thing, he is also humble!

This ought to thrill the macho among them every time they see anyone reading their tag.

EDITOR NOTE–The idea here Grumpy is ANY vanity plate costs us money. Masterson just eliminated the “thrill factor” and saved us a couple of symbolic dollars.

What next? Some “conservative” legislator actually going for conservative values, such as less government interference in private lives, possibly even less spending on unnecessary pork?

Aw, guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

“Wait, there’s more!”

Chief, “I’m a clown” may be gone, but the trail his shenanigans left behind will be easy to follow.

They could of conceived to be in poor taste. Comedy in a bomb removal situation wouldn’t fly.

But the other part of me likes that a boring government agency had some creativity.
