It’s Air Force Week!

All the official fun may be in New York City, but we can all take a moment or three to cheer our airmen and their history of derring-do.

In honor of Air Force Week — the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Air Force is in September — we here at Orange County Breeze World Headquarters could not resist this short video about a special perk made available at the request of the Air Force for its sixtieth anniversary — a Reyn Spooner aloha shirt. Courtesy of the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System, the video is hosted by Staff Sgt. Chris Decker:

For fans of both Reyn Spooner aloha shirts and the United States military, two military-themed aloha shirts are available through Moku Man: a “Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam” design and a “P-51 Mustangs” design.

The P-51 Mustangs design is discontinued, so you might want to hurry if you’re interested in getting one.
