"SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT," reads a shirt paired with an illustration of a Piper Cub. It's the design and creation of Tony Fletcher, the owner of FRZ Tees. Fletcher started FRZ Tees after buying a four-color screen-printing press at an auction. A graphic designer, he taught himself the printing process and began applying his designs to T-shirts and sweatshirts. Because he prints his shirts in Alexandria, Virginia-smack in the middle of the Flight Restricted Zone-the FRZ, pronounced "freeze"-he landed on the name FRZ Tees. Fletcher is a pilot, and flies out of Potomac Airfield (VKX), one of the two operating GA airports inside the FRZ. The name seemed appropriate, he said. "I've found the screen-printing process very fun, and it's neat to see your designs come to life so to speak," Fletcher said.
