Get a "Remove Before Flight" Key Ring

“Remove Before Flight” key rings (also known as key chains) were once used exclusively by pilots, airport employees and other people working with civil and military aircraft. They are now a popular fashion accessory. The phrase, which relates to equipment or items that must be removed from planes and their immediate surroundings before takeoff, also features on clothing, tags and streamers.
