Reorder gear by searching for your Squadron:
We’ve been in your boots. Juggling the morale of the squadron, all while trying to stay in the books and learning to employ your weapons system. You have to keep the jalapeno-corn hot, the beer cold, and wrangle the tight wad field graders to pay their monthly dues. Whew!
Just when you finally think you’re all caught up, you shake the keg to find it’s running low and the only popcorn within 5 miles is crunched all over the floor. Ughhh!
Then, there is designing a patch for the upcoming deployment, reordering t-shirts, challenge coins, zap stickers. The LPA is AWOL...standard. Thankfully, your online wingman is here to help.
Aviator Gear is your panic button when you need BOTOT and you need it right...the first time. We make your life easier with free design and sticking to a production timeline you can count on.
Send us your ideas, even if it’s a crayon drawing on a pizza box (believe us, we’ve seen worse). We will mock it up and toss it back to you for review. After we bat the artwork back and forth a few times, we will quote your project and get to work.
We are a veteran-owned design company obsessed with exceptional customer service. We are your online wingman helping you take care of your organization. Speaking of wingmen...who’s at the controls of this thing?
Back in 1995 Cory “Trap” Bower wasn’t a retired Lieutenant Colonel with over 3,000 fighter hours and three combat deployments. Nope, Cory was a lieutenant in his first F-15C assignment with the 44th Fighter Squadron at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.
Like most new Lts, he wanted to spend every minute learning how to kill MiGs... little did he know his duties that first year would be anything but.
Upon arriving in the squadron, he was informed that he was the new Snacko. Snack what? When asking around for some gouge, all he got was “Good luck, don’t f*** it up.”
Back then in the stone age there was no such thing as wifi and cell phones, so Cory found himself battling with a dial-up ISP, AOL email, and dealing with a dozen different vendors just to get the gear he needed for his squadron.
After wasting countless hours ping ponging between companies he thought to himself, “Man, why doesn’t someone just put all this stuff in one place? It’d make everyone’s life a heck of a lot easier…”
Fast-forward a decade and three more flying assignments and Cory decided he was going to be that someone –– the person that created the place where everyone could go to get exactly what they needed to take care of their squadron.
It’s been 15 years since Aviator Gear launched and Trap and Co. are still in full AB. He and his team have designed, manufactured, and supplied custom gear to thousands of military units, training classes, and aerospace defense companies, like Lockheed Martin, Textron, and Boeing.
We are looking forward to serving you and your organization. Join the formation by signing up for our Aviator Gear newsletter. We promise to only send you the good stuff and not trash your inbox. Let’s Get Started!
