Flight Instructor Tee — "I Said Throttle, Not Rudder!"

Light, sarcastic, and designed for pilots who live in the cockpit: this tee says what every flight instructor has wanted to say with a grin. The soft, garment-dyed cotton feels worn-in from the first wear, so it slides under a headset or a flight jacket without fuss. Short quips and private jokes belong in the hangar and this shirt carries one loud and proud — a quiet way to share a laugh on briefings, cross-country stops, or after a long day of dual instruction. It fits relaxed around the shoulders so you can move through preflight checks and controls without restriction, and the muted dye gives the design a lived-in, practical look that pairs easily with jeans or flight pants. Wear it to debriefings, weekend fly-ins, or when you just want to remind a student which control is which — with a wink.
