Description: Baa Baa Black Sheep (renamed Black Sheep Squadron for the second season) is an American television series that aired on NBC from September 23, 1976, until April 6, 1978. It was part period military drama, part comedy. In the final seven episodes, the character list was revamped, dropping some squadron pilots, adding a 16-year-old pilot and four nurses.
Description: One in our series of airplane tech drawing designs, this shirt features the F4U Corsair. The Corsair was an American aircraft carrier based fighter airplane that served in WWII and the Korean War. 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured in 16 models. Great gift for avgeeks, pilots, military aviators, WWII aircraft nuts, airshow warbird pilots, World War 2 history buffs, aviation historians, classic & vintage airplane lovers, student pilots & flight instructors, aviation museum staff, A&P mechanics etc.
Description: During WWII, while the 7th and 9th Fighter Squadrons received new aircraft, the 8th received the older aircraft being replaced by the other squadrons. Unhappy with being last on the supply line and not liking the unlucky "Eightballs" name caused the pilots to begin calling the 8th “The Black Sheep" Squadron.
