As part of this years Corsairs over Connecticut show I ended up designing a few shirts and had them produced to sell during the event. I now offer my designs to the WIX masses here for all of you who weren't able to make it out to Connecticut this year. The shirts are 100% pre shrunk cotton and are expertly screen printed by a local company.

Sizes: S (youth large), M, L, XL, 2X, 3X
Price: $14.99 ea. + shipping & handling (Total price roughly $20)

Combined shipping is available for larger orders. If you are interested in buying any, PM me with your order and i'll message you my address to send a check with the desired amount.

I like the Whistling Death one a lot.

When my daughter was four I got to chaperon a pre-school trip to NASM Dulles. Since I'm a scale modeler, she'd already spent a fair amount of time not only at the museum (over a couple dozen trips, since I had an annual parking pass), but also in my basement asking about the different planes I had on display.

If you haven't been to NASM Dulles, they have a "balcony" on the upper level that looks out over the main level at about the point in the museum where the modern military aviation section is separated from the WWII section by the SR-71. We took her class out there first and she points up to the left and says "Look: Warhawk" (ok, the P-40 they have is technically a Kittyhawk in Warhawk markings), then down in the center at the SR and says "Look: Blackbird", and then up to the right at the Corsair and says "Look: Whistling Death". The little boys in her class thought that was very cool, but the teacher was pretty horrified.

:lol: Thats a pretty funny situation. I could see it now! Glad you enjoy the shirts. I really wanted to try and break away from the typical designs that you see at EVERY airshow. So I went with the clean/stylized slightly art deco theme. Really nothing spectacular but I do hope to expand the line with all the other aircraft we hold so near and dear.

I still have a good supply of those three designs which will available at the Connecticut Air & Space Center's booth at the show this year (May 21-22). I'm hoping to sell off all of them so I can concentrate on smaller production runs so I'll have more of a variety of hard stock in the future.

For everyone who wont be able to make the airshow here in Stratford, the three designs are available here: http://warbirdwear.bigcartel.com/
Alot more designs can be found here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/warbirdwear

At that price I'll take one.....kinda pricey at $25 on the website you referred me to and then shipping gets added in, but at this price, sure. Will get ahold of you from home to work it all out.

The shirts on Red Bubble have to be more expensive sadly. They handle the printing and shipping of every shirt. So since they worry about the overhead they charge $20 upfront, I have to raise the price so I receive something. Sucks I know but one day if Im lucky I'll be doing the screen printing myself.

Your shared t-shirts looks fantastic. I like these all. Is it this Whistling Death Shirt is available now or not? And also will you please reduce the price of your t-shirts if possible. And share these types of more t-shirts and shirts if you have more.

Wow a blast from the past! Thanks Eric for your interest. We have just reissued the "Whistling Death" shirt design along with the Chance Vought design on behalf of the museum. Depending on your size, we can see if we have yours in stock. $20.00 plus s&h. All proceeds from these shirts go to the museum.
