Peanuts

This is the airport that bears the name Charles Schulz after all.

Now if we could get Snoopy and the Red Baron to do a fly by that would be awesome.

While the Fokker Dreidecker is the one more commonly portrayed in lore, I'm partial to the Albatros he flew myself.

Sky Lounge at KSTS

UNIQLO Decal Installation Time Lapse

We were out and flying this week with an exciting new brand, Uniqlo.

Uniqlo is an international clothing giant, opening their first store in California in just a few short weeks.

Over 824 panels of vinyl were produced for this branding, each panel 44 by 23 inches.

The red company logo is 19 feet tall, and over 41 feet wide.

When complete, it will have taken a team of 10 over 8 days to cut, produce, and install all of these panels.

Watch the time-lapse video to see the first side applied.

Old News

Catching up on some reading today checking out this July 6, 1938 issue of Die Woche featuring Count Zeppelin.

Decal Production Line

Last week, our team was working to produce the decal sheets that make up the new branding.

You'll see the results of their hard work later this week!
