Hooters Air T-Shirt
Celebrate the brief, bold run of Hooters Air with a tee rooted in real American aviation history. Based in Myrtle Beach, the airline operated from March 2003 through April 2006 and was flown by Pace Airlines. Its orange-and-white aircraft, golf-travel focus, and Club Class name made it a standout of the early 2000s. This shirt is for defunct-airline collectors, aviation historians, Myrtle Beach travelers, and anyone who enjoys an unexpected corporate crossover story.
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.
