What is the difference between a squadron shirt and a flight shirt?       

A squadron shirt, also known as the "airman's run shirt," are the shirts that graduating airman typically wear for the airman’s run. It is a design specific to each basic training squadron. The flight shirt is designed by the individual flights within a squadron and is decided by the airmen in that flight. Flight designs are finalized and shirts are produced the week of graduation. Due to this tight schedule, online flight items are not available to be received prior to graduation and are shipped the week following graduation. NOTE: All airmen orders will be delivered by Wednesday of graduation week.

 

 

 

The great majority of flights design a flight shirt and they order it from us graduation week. If you pre-order these items and flights do not complete designs, you will be issued a refund. 

 

The majority of flights chose black as the shirt color. However, the choice between black and charcoal grey is left for the flight. If you pre-order a flight shirt you will get the exact same shirt as was designed by the flight. No changes can be made. If you order a flight shirt as a past-grad shirt from our website, it will be printed on a black shirt.

 

Flight shirts are only available through online ordering. The deadline to preorder online is 12:00 noon CST SUNDAY before graduation (unless otherwise noted - Nov and Dec holidays usually). After the preorder closes, you may order through the "Past Graduation" option which is located under the FLIGHTS category on the website. 

 

Flight artwork, once finalized, is available to view on our Facebook page. Please click the Facebook icon on bottom of the home page or visit www.Facebook.com/LacklandShirtShop. Art is loaded on our Facebook page during the week of graduation.   

 

Provided you have ordered by Sunday before your airmen’s graduation, your items will me mailed to the address noted on your online order, after graduation week. Flight items can only be shipped out at this time and cannot be picked up during graduation. Past Graduation items take 3-5 weeks for production and shipping. 

                                                                                       

Yes, there is a great digital option that utilizes the original flight shirt's back artwork. These items are produced digitally so there are some variations in color from the original silk-screened items and the front imprint is different than that of the original printing and the sleeves are blank. To order, go to the Flights tab and select Past Graduation. Provide us the year and flight number of the flight item you wish for us to remake. These items are not able to be refunded or exchanged and do require up to 5 weeks to receive.
