Collection: Tail Flash Collection

For decades, tail flashes told the story of the squadrons, wings and communities that flew and maintained America's aircraft. As modern paint schemes and standardization strip those markings off the ramp, a piece of that heritage goes with them.

The HerkyBirdCo Tail Flash Collection was built to keep it. Every design is taken from the flash that distinguished a real aircraft and represented the airmen who called that squadron home — C-130 and C-130J, HC-130J Combat King, MC-130J, WC-130J, C-17, KC-135, A-10, UH-60 and Coast Guard airframes.

Each one is printed in full colour on precision laser-cut UV leatherette and mounted on your choice of hat. Made to order in Central Pennsylvania.
