These items were created specifically for a promotional event that tied into the annual AAPEX Expo in Las Vegas. Members of the press were invited to a tropical themed gathering in a small airport. After the product presentation, the group received; a ride in a WWII airplane, tropical beverages, a branded silk Tommy Bahama shirt & a flight jacket displaying the one of the two patches below. The reviews were favorable and the product that was being promoted was given the Editor's Choice award by Popular Mechanics.
