  • Please remove my pin from the map

    Please REMOVE my pin from the World Map! It’s located in Tennessee and of course the name is Mark Taylor. While in concept, a map of trikers and trikes is a nice idea – in reality it’s an invitation for thieves to locate and steal your stuff. Recently my airport was the target of a bunch of low lifes, who fortunately for me; went after the larger aircraft. So, please REMOVE my pin…

    Hi Mark, I have requested your pin to be removed. The point of the pin is not to pin you exact hangar at your airport, but rather to let people know your general location. So if saying which airport is too telling, maybe your home address or just your town.

    The truth is any thief knows there are aircraft in hangars at airports. They don’t need our map to locate airports. And furthermore any photos with your N number can be looked up on the FAA to get the owners information. Lastly if you fly your trike and keep it at the airport in your town, the odds are anyone who sees you flying can figure out which airport you most likely fly out of.

    So please re-pin yourself to your town and not your Trike’s exact location of storage.
