Fun new sweatshirts from Sporty’s

By Janice Wood · October 24, 2010 ·

Two new sweatshirts from Sporty’s concentrate on the light side of general aviation. The Airport Bum Sweatshirt and FAA Mission Statement Sweatshirt are sure to garner a laugh when you wear them around the airport.

Typically being called a bum would be fighting words, but pilots know that being recognized as an airport bum is a high calling. Symptoms of being an airport bum include soliciting rides, grading landings and critiquing various aircraft. The FAA Mission Statement sweatshirt proclaims “We’re not happy until you’re not happy.” Both sweatshirts are made from a comfortable cotton polyester blend.

Both sweatshirts are available in sizes Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large for $26.95 each at Sportys.com or by calling 800-SPORTYS. Matching T-shirts are also available.
