The roundel on the front is our Nation’s national insignia on military aircraft, and the M2M logo on the back has the contrails of the Air Force Memorial supported by the plinth of the Wright Brothers’ Memorial, just as our heritage rests on the shoulders of the Wright Brothers
The two planes subdued into the jersey are not only beautiful, but represent our heritage and that of flight itself from the Wright Brothers’ 1903 Flyer to today’s multi-service F-35. From bike trails to contrails and beyond!
