Meh, I'm not big on yellow. Another color possibly. I've got an actual remove before flight tag, but it's a bit too big to use on a key chain.

sorry I know this is going to be stupid but what is remove before flight? I almost ordered that exact same in red, but for some reason I got this one instead, probably cause it kinda looks like mine. I did order the colored keys though too 
But im still going to keep it connected to my two part ring so I don't have the keychain flopping all over.

It is the pilots responsibility to make sure those are removed, especially the safety pins from the landing gear. Used to work on F-18's, and had a guy in my shop "forget" to remove one from one of the wheels. Pilot misses his flight because his gear won't come up. He was also the Maintenance Officer for the squadron, and royally pissed. That stunt found the guy working in the chow hall for the next couple weeks.

I was a crew chief on F-16's the pilot's remove NO pin's or remove before flight items.
We pull all remove before flight items (pins) in preparation for flight, except a few, then remove those immediately before take off.
Remove before flight means exactly that. The streamer is just a flag to remind over worked, tired, complacent individuals to remove it before they try and take off.
There are usually stores near smaller airports that carry streamers, stickers and other cool stuff. They even make keychain size streamers.

Little off topic but yes. Had 2 rides during my career pulled 9+G's both times.
Was AWSOME. Matter of fact my first F16 is in Iron Man 2.
