It’s that time of year again folks! Aviator Flight Fest is coming right around the corner on October 3rd! One of the coolest parts of this festival is not only the race, or the games, but the t-shirts! This year, the t-shirts are gray and long-sleeved, perfect for the chilly October. It’s also perfect to be used as spiritwear, as the flight fest logo is big on the front. On the back of the shirt are the Top Gun ($5000), Flight Captain ($3000), Aviator ($1000), and Navigator ($750) sponsors. Donate the amounts of money listed to get yourself on the back of the shirt. This article of clothing is known as a source of pride as well being seen everywhere around the community from year one, which was in 2011. Something new about this year is now there are shirts for both genders. The men’s shirt is a crew-neck shirt and the women’s shirt is a v-neck, both made of 100% polyester. The shirt has been modified over the past five years. In the first 3 years of the race, the shirt was a tech-shirt (technical). Then, last year, the shirt was a cotton shirt, but people begged for the tech-shirt to come back, so the shirt is back to being a tech-shirt this year.
You want this shirt now? It’s easy! Aviator Flight Fest is one of the biggest fundraisers of the school year, so register before September 15th, and you get a shirt, plus you’re guaranteed the size you want. Students are $25.00, and adults are $30.00, but you cannot buy just a shirt, you have to register. At Flight fest, there will be extra shirts for 2015, but you are not guaranteed the size you’d like. Did you see last years Flight fest shirts from 2014? You looked at them and thought,”Wow! I want a shirt like that!” but didn’t make it to the festival? It’s okay because at Flight fest, there will be some shirts from the previous event.
