Lighten up in a Sporty’s pilot T-shirt

By Janice Wood · February 17, 2013 ·

Sporty’s has added to its line of humorous T-shirts with three new options:

Picture 1JetFuel: Even more than the smell of strong coffee or the smell of the pancakes at a fly-in breakfast, pilots love the smell of fuel. This T-shirt announces that fact by declaring, “I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning.”

Flight Risk: You might not want to go before the judge with this T-shirt on, but it will definitely get some chuckles from your pilot friends. This shirt cleverly states “Set My Bail High, I’m a Flight Risk.”

Wake Turbulence: Wingtip vortices and jetwash are key contributors to wake turbulence, and, generally speaking, the heavier the aircraft, the greater the turbulence. This T-shirt warns those behind you of the possibility of turbulence. The triangular warning sign is on the back to complete the look.

Jet Fuel [5085A]; Flight Risk [5113A]; and Wake Turbulence [5488A] are each available for $16.50 in sizes Medium through XXL and may be ordered at Sportys.com or by calling 800-SPORTYS.
