Celebrate The F-117’s Extended Service With This Tonopah Canyons Active Retirement Community T-Shirt

So, celebrate the world's first stealth combat jet's amazing legacy and what has become its very active retirement at its equally as enigmatic home with this 'Tonopah Canyons' T-shirt we cooked up with the mad-scientist apparel gurus at Blipshift.

The shirt features our spoof on an elegant retirement community logo — the Air Force could have sent the F-117 to other lesser retirement homes or had them put down permanently altogether, but instead, they gave their beloved Nighthawks the best shot at a fulfilling twilight to their storied lives at Tonopah Canyons.

The shirt also includes the control tower as well as the iconic rows of hangars at Tonopah, which make up the lovingly nicknamed 'canyons.' These were originally built to house the F-117s — ironically, in retrospect, the program was code-named SENIOR TREND — during its top-secret early operational years. 

This is all set against a silhouette of the surrounding desert mountains, with an F-117 triumphantly streaking into the sky, just as the jets continue to do after all these years. Red, black, and white — the same colors that adorn the F-117s—was our color palette for this one-of-a-kind design.

We are offering this bad boy in various tees, hoodies, long sleeves, and tanks in two distinct versions, starting at $20.

Get it in white here.

And black, here.

For this holiday season, we are also re-upping our Hog's Breath masks due to massive demand, including two new special editions!

I always wanted to do a version that celebrates the original green European theater camouflage the Warthog was born into and served in during the last act of the Cold War and a bit beyond. So we did it! You can grab one here.

Another special edition is a full warthog tusk version, just like the nose art worn by a couple of A-10 units. This is our most aggressive hog mask yet! Grab one here.

You can also get the original, which has been poorly imitated by lesser folks since we introduced it, here.

All of these Blipshift-partnered designs will only be available for a very limited time (literally the clock is ticking on each listing!), so grab them now while you can. All orders will arrive before Christmas.

Finally, take a look at our branded merch store with War Zone logo shirts, hoodies, hats, and even mugs, here.

Thanks so much for grabbing a shirt or mask or two. We wish you and your family a fantastic holiday season!
