Hooters Air Hoodie / Sweatshirt
Celebrate an airline story that could only have come from the early 2000s with this Hooters Air hoodie / sweatshirt. Hooters Air flew from Myrtle Beach from March 2003 until April 2006, combining public charter service with a golf-destination marketing angle and unmistakable orange-and-white branding. Its short run, Club Class name, and connection to Pace Airlines make it a standout for collectors. Wear it as a relaxed tribute to unusual airline history and classic American travel nostalgia.
Hooters Air was a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina airline that operated from March 6, 2003, to April 17, 2006. Founded by Hooters of America restaurant owner Robert Brooks after he acquired Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Pace Airlines in December 2002, the airline was owned by Hooters of America and all flights were operated by Pace. It combined scheduled USDOT public charters with ad hoc private charters, using H1 for public charters and Pace's Y5 code for ad hoc service. Marketed as a link to Myrtle Beach's golf destinations, Hooters Air used orange-and-white aircraft with Hooters branding and offered Club Class seating, leather seats, and complimentary meals on flights over one hour. Service to Rockford was scheduled to end January 5, 2006, and commercial operations were suspended January 9. Its final flight traveled from Myrtle Beach to Newark on April 17, 2006. Pace Airlines continued charter operations until September 2009.
