Coffee below minimums. GO AROUND!

For private pilots, student pilots, flight instructors, air traffic controllers, general aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who understands that certain minimums simply cannot be ignored.
Soft-feel fabric. Radar-screen aviation humor. Coffee minimums strictly enforced.

Grounds. Go-arounds. One caffeine emergency.
Inspired by old monochrome ATC radar displays, this retro aviation T-shirt puts a coffee-powered twist on the familiar radar scope. An aircraft target approaches the runway, its track clearly visible across the screen... until things take an unfortunate turn.
At the center of the scope, the airport symbol has been replaced by the most important destination in general aviation: a cup of coffee. The aircraft's dashed track curves decisively away into a go-around while the radar annotation explains everything:
GO AROUND
REASON: COFFEE BELOW MINIMUMS
Wrapped in “GROUNDS & GO-AROUNDS” typography and finished with “CAFFEINATED GENERAL AVIATION,” it's a piece of wonderfully geeky pilot humor for anyone who speaks fluent aviation and caffeine.
Wear it for an early departure, flight school, your next flying club gathering, an airfield coffee, or whenever ATC needs to know why you're requesting another circuit.
Know a pilot operating dangerously close to coffee minimums?
That's your target.
A funny and thoughtful aviation gift for a private pilot, student pilot, flight instructor, air traffic controller, aircraft owner, or general aviation enthusiast who appreciates the more technical side of flying humor.
Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day, a first solo flight, a successful checkride, a new pilot's licence, or simply rewarding somebody for maintaining adequate caffeine separation throughout another year of flying.
And if they're the sort of person who immediately understands why “coffee below minimums” requires a mandatory go-around, you've definitely found the right T-shirt.
Restore safe coffee levels. Choose their favorite color and size!
