THE STORY

Charter jets out of Oakland

Trans International flew military and holiday charters worldwide from Oakland, and was among the first supplemental carriers in America to put jets on the certificate. It became Transamerica Airlines and wound down in 1986. Our TIA designs draw on the DC-8 years — the marks crews wore on charters to anywhere.

Every garment is printed when you order it, in the USA, with the disclaimer on the label: an independent tribute, for the people who remember.

Flew for TIA? Worked Oakland? Remember the charter DC-8s?
