Default The flying banner circling downtown

Has anyone else seen this? My co-workers and I are trying to figure out what it says but it's too far in the distance.

What does the flying banner circling downtown this morning say?

lol, money well spent. Saw the guy yesterday over 14th St SW, wasn't entirely sure what I was looking at. Seems to me the guy is flying waaaaay to high to be able to read it.

This has been up there for past Peto Shows. Haven't gotten close enough to read it this year, but I think the banner change periodically.

I'm confused, is that logo the company we should be thinking about (which we can't make out), or is this a joint promo ad by the Alloy & Stainless Fastener industry?

Why?

Because we're hosting the world petroleum show

or

Because there is advertising in the sky

Sky advertising is the clear sign that this place is full of nothing but hicks and yokels.

Tier 1 cities know to keep their advertising to ground level. Or elevated billboard at best.
