GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate Pace Airlines, the Winston-Salem charter carrier established in 1996 and known for executive flights serving sports teams, entertainers, and corporations. The company broadened its operations with leisure charters, including Vacation Express flights, and later became closely linked with the Hooters Air brand. This shirt honors the airline’s changing role in American aviation, from all-first-class Boeing 737-200 beginnings to a wider charter operation serving vacation travelers and collectors of airline history.
Pace Airlines was an American charter carrier based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with its main base at Smith Reynolds Airport. Established in January 1996 as Piedmont Aviation Svcs d/b/a Pace Airlines, it received Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation approval on March 26, 1996. Its initial focus was executive charters for sports teams, entertainers, and corporations, using an all-first-class Boeing 737-200. Piedmont Aviation Services merged with Hawthorne Aviation in July 1998 to become Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation. In 2000, new president Darrell Richardson expanded operations, including a Vacation Express leisure charter contract that began flying in 2001. Pace was sold to Pace Airlines, LLC and Pace Airlines II, LLC in December 2002; later that month, Robert H. Brooks purchased it and established the Hooters Air brand. Hooters Air began service in April 2003, while Pace retained operational and maintenance activity largely in Winston-Salem and the Hooters Air offices were in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The carrier flew Boeing 737, 757, and 767 aircraft and operated charter and scheduled-charter services. Plans for Hawaii flights did not proceed, and several routes were discontinued amid rising fuel costs and competition.
