Post Your Short Snorters

A Short Snorter is a banknote inscribed by people traveling together on an aircraft. The tradition was started by Alaskan Bush flyers in the 1920s and spread through the military and commercial aviation.

"Snort" is slang for a "mixed drink," and "Short" specifies less than a full measure.

This is a favorite of mine, my daughter brought it back, some years ago, when she went to Space Camp. The secretaries there would ask the astronauts to sign a note when they stopped by Huntsville. One of them gave this note to my daughter when she told them I collected "Short Snorters." Someday I will give it back to my daughter who collects space memorabilia.
