‘It’s a plane thing’

By Meg Godlewski · January 27, 2010 ·

Shirt

Do your family and friends say they have no idea what you are saying when you talk aviation? Are you tired of explaining yourself? Maybe you need a shirt to do it for you.

This T-shirt design, which was available at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida, late last month, is laden with acronyms that we pilots are so familiar with, such as ATP, CFI, and more. The shirt also has pilot slang terms, such as $100 hamburger.

While the shirt doesn’t provide complete explanation for the terms, it does offer a fall-back explanation — “It’s a plane thing.”

    Aw, c’mon guys! What’s up with telling us about this shirt, yet saying nothing on how to buy it other than we could have bought it at some expo? Give us a link so we can buy some now. Everyone can use more business.

      Yeah. We missed this one. We’ve contacted show management to see if we can get ordering information. Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience.
