16th Air Traffic Control Battalion Cold War Tribute Tee | All-Over Print

Honor the 16th Air Traffic Control Battalion — Guiding the Skies

This premium all-over print tee pays tribute to the 16th Air Traffic Control Battalion and their vital service during the Cold War era, when military air traffic controllers maintained the safety and efficiency of military aviation operations around the world. From directing aircraft at forward airfields to managing complex airspace during critical operations, these skilled professionals ensured that every takeoff and landing was executed safely. Working around the clock in control towers and mobile units, they guided pilots through all conditions — from routine flights to emergency situations — with precision, calm professionalism, and unwavering dedication. This isn't just a shirt; it's a wearable memorial to the discipline, expertise, and quiet heroism of air traffic controllers who kept the skies safe.

The full-wrap design features subtle military-inspired graphics that evoke the world of air traffic control — tower operations, aviation communications, and the camaraderie of those who served. The continuous print creates a respectful, lived-in aesthetic that honors the battalion's Cold War service.

Built for Memory and Everyday Wear

Crafted from 100% performance polyester, this tee delivers the durability and comfort you need for daily wear while maintaining the dignified aesthetic appropriate for veteran gatherings, reunions, air shows, or memorial events. The fabric sits smooth against your skin, wicks moisture efficiently, and maintains vivid print clarity through repeated washing. Reinforced shoulder tape and side seams ensure long-lasting shape retention, while the tagless design and ribbed collar provide all-day comfort.

Available in two fabric weights — a lighter 4.0 oz/yd² for breathable comfort or a more substantial 6.0 oz/yd² for added durability — you can choose the weight that suits your preference. The regular fit runs true to size and layers easily for travel or long shifts.
