Operation Southern Watch - IF IT FLIES, IT DIES Shirt

From 1992 to 2003, Operation Southern Watch enforced the UN-mandated no-fly zone over southern Iraq, keeping Saddam's military aircraft grounded below the 32nd parallel. Day after day, Navy carrier air wings flew combat air patrols out of the Gulf, dodging Iraqi SAMs and AAA with the skill and confidence of aviators who had mastered the threat. Among those who flew, "If It Flies, It Dies" wasn't a boast — it was a statement of fact. This shirt honors every pilot, NFO, and aircrew member who owned the sky over southern Iraq during Operation Southern Watch.
