We ordered t-shirts for this year’s Black Hills Fly-In, but unfortunately, the weather kept many of our pilot visitors from flying in and purchasing their shirts.

Now we have shirts available, and we’d love your help putting them to good use!

The Black Hills Fly-In is now a nonprofit organization, and the funds we raise go directly toward putting on the event and supporting the scholarship fund we created for local aviation students. 🎓✈️

So, if you missed the Fly-In or just want to show your support, grab a shirt and help us add to those scholarships!

👕 T-shirts: $18 each
📍 Local delivery: FREE
📦 Shipping: Flat $5 rate

Every shirt purchased helps support the future of aviation in our local community. Thank you for supporting the Black Hills Fly-In and our aviation students! ❤️✈️
