Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine Aeroplane Apparel Company design, and what line is it part of?

Yes. It is a genuine design by Aeroplane Apparel Company, sold new through Pilot Mall. It belongs to the Grounded Aviators Society line, a collection of original, humor driven aviation artwork. This Original Daredevil Flight School tee shares the same tongue in cheek take on daredevil flying found across the rest of the line.

What does the Daredevil Flight School design look like?

You get artwork on both sides. The left chest carries the Grounded Aviators Society logo, a mouse pilot whose homemade aircraft is heading for the ground, ringed by the society name and the tongue in cheek line LIABILITY WAIVER REQUIRED. The back features a larger vintage Original Daredevil Flight School, Since 1928 illustration with the mouse pilot, a Dachshund Motor, and the slogan BIG DREAMS AND A FLYING MACHINE.

What is the joke behind the Dachshund Motor and Liability Waiver Required design?

It is aviation humor celebrating the audacious, experimental spirit of early flight. The cartoon mouse pilot builds his own flying machine powered by a whimsical Dachshund Motor, and the LIABILITY WAIVER REQUIRED line jokes that the biggest dreams sometimes require the biggest waivers. It is a lighthearted conversation starter, not a real aircraft.

What is this shirt made of?

This tee is a cotton and polyester blend, which gives it a soft feel with easy care wear. Fabric weight and blend details vary by size and color, so review the fabric notes on the size and color selector before you order if those details matter to you.

What neckline and sleeve style does this tee have?

It has a round crew neck and short sleeves, giving it an everyday, casual look. The crew neck and short sleeves wear well at the hangar, at a fly in, or around town, while the front and back artwork keep it distinctly aviation themed and fun. It is a classic graphic t-shirt silhouette.

What sizes and colors does this shirt come in?

This Daredevil Flight School tee is offered in Athletic Heather. Sizes run from Small through 3XLarge, including Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, 2XLarge, and 3XLarge. Color and size availability can change with stock, so check the size and color selector for current options before you order.

Is this a men's or unisex shirt, and how should I pick a size?

It is offered as a unisex graphic tee that also suits men, so most wearers can choose their usual t-shirt size. If you are between sizes or prefer a roomier feel, consider sizing up. For the best fit, review the size guide and measurements before you order.

Is there a women's version of this Grounded Aviators Society design?

This Original Daredevil Flight School tee is offered as a unisex style. Aeroplane Apparel Company also makes other Grounded Aviators Society designs, including a Caution Flight Risk women's tee. PilotMall carries a full range of Aeroplane Apparel Company styles. Check out our Aeroplane Apparel Company collection to compare the available cuts.

How should I wash this shirt to protect the printed graphics?

Follow the care label on the garment. As general guidance for printed graphic tees, turn the shirt inside out and machine wash cold with like colors, then tumble dry on low and avoid bleach. Washing inside out and skipping high heat helps the front and back artwork stay crisp wash after wash.

Who is this shirt a good gift for?

It is a fun pick for airshow enthusiasts, aviation historians with a sense of humor, and anyone who understands that the biggest dreams sometimes require the biggest waivers. The playful Grounded Aviators Society theme makes it a great gift for pilots and airplane lovers, and it works as casual everyday wear at the hangar or a fly in.
