Aviation Connoisseurs know that certain feeling of briskly walking across polished terminal floors, past tobacco-hued lounges and the low, distant thunder of three engines preparing to send a widebody into the afternoon sky. Perhaps, if you were wearing a cap, you would not have to squint as the sun gleams off a sun-baked DC-10 bound for tropical skies just out beyond the terminal's glass.
The DC-10 Cap brings that feeling into the present with a richly embroidered front design declaring The Newest Widebody In Service, a splendid proclamation for this fine new trijet. Set against a deep black cap, finished with braided rope detail and Golden Wing Club embroidery along the side, it carries the charm of acknowledging the debut of a remarkable new aircraft, and one’s good taste in admiring it.
Whether worn through the terminal, beside the pool, on a warm afternoon drive, or during a well-earned moment of widebody contemplation, it serves as a fitting tribute to one of commercial aviation’s most unmistakable aircraft.
