The Hornets. The 116th. Vietnam’s Sky Warriors.
They flew low, flew fast, and flew fearless. The 116th Assault Helicopter Company — the Hornets — were among the elite aviation units that defined the air assault doctrine of the Vietnam War. Armed with their Aviator Badge and bound by an unshakeable brotherhood, these pilots and crews operated in the deadliest skies of the conflict, putting rounds on target and keeping boots on the ground alive.
From extraction missions under fire to direct combat support, the Hornets carried the fight where others couldn’t follow. This shirt honors every aviator, crew chief, and door gunner who wore the Hornet’s sting with pride.
