Quoted from toyotaboy:Seeing how this is RIGHT next to the airport, it would be free advertising if the top of the roof was painted to look like a pinball machine. Every flight in "look, there's a giant pinball machine! We should go visit there!"[quoted image]
That’s an awesome idea in general but I am afraid it won’t work in this case for a couple of reasons.
1. The building is basically on the airport so it won’t be seen by anyone flying in because the airplanes will be on the ground when they are near it.
2. It’s also on the wrong side of the airport for the general flight traffic. The majority of the airplanes land either to the West or to the south. Since the building is on the west side of the airport no passengers on landing aircraft would be able to see it. The only people that would probably see it is passengers from departing airplanes. This is because departing aircraft climb at a much higher rate than the long flat aprroaches of arriving aircraft. This means that the aircraft departing to the west would have a good view of it but......They are leaving.
The ideal place for this kind of Advertisement is about a mile from the airport just on either side of the approach path. That way the airplane is near enough to the ground to see it and it’s more prominanet. We have a big Dallas Cowboy Star on top a warehouse coming into Dallas.
Like I said. It’s an awesome idea and would fit perfectly with the theme and building type but in this case I just think the location is wrong. It could still be worth doing because It would be cool to take ariel pictures of it and use it in promotional material though.
Now if you painted the end facing the airport like the front of a machine with a huge shooter rod hanging off the side with a lit up coin door With the word Pinball in the middle, you would get visibility from the passengers as they are taxiing to the gate. Hmmmm.
Quoted from toyotaboy:all probably true.. at the very least itll be seen from google maps.
True
