2012 11, August: Our giant sale has ended, but the quality and value continue.
Thank to everyone for making our giant site-wide sale such a success. We were overwhelmed by the response, so much that our site even got hung up a couple of times during the flurry of activity.
When you look around our site, you will notice our prices are all slightly higher than our unchanged prices for the past fifteen years. Well it was inevitable, over time the material and labor costs to produce our quality products has steadily increased. We held our prices down as long as possible, but in order to continue the same high quality we've been known for, prices had to bump up just a touch. We hope you will continue to appreciate our commitment to quality and great design as much as we have appreciated your support and compliments throughout all these years.
2012 30, July: Lost Squadron Sale ends soon.
We've been so deep in many of our products, we needed to clear some room on our shelves for new stock and now we are no longer tripping over stacks of shirts at the warehouse thanks to you. We also have room for all of those Aussie Spitfire hats arriving soon. On August 6th the sale comes to an end, and as always, we appreciate your business.
2012 30, June: Could our Aussie Spitfire hats be too popular?
Our Spitfire Aussie Hat continues to be a big success. Actually even more than we anticipated. That's why we've sold out of our third production run of these hats. Another order is in the works, so back orders will be filled as soon as the new stock arrives. We've making plenty to cover new orders too.
2012 29, February: Roger's Aussie Hat is here!
 It's finally here! We have been wanting to do Roger's Aussie style Outback hat for years. This new design has even gotten caught up in our sale. Retailing at $49.95, it's now available for a limited time at the sale price of $34.95. Check it out here!

New Warehouse
Lost Squadron now has a new and-improved warehouse. We have added all new shelving and
continue to organize so we can bring you all the stuff you like.
National Championship Reno Air Races 2005
We had a great time at the Reno Air Races this past September.
We were fortunate enough to be associated with Dan Martin's Ridge Runner, the fastest "stock"
mustang. Somehow they allowed us to install a flying Lost Squadron billboard with the sticker
spanning nearly from wingtip to wingtip.
Our friends from the Planes of Fame had a good view of our high speed billboard from the
Lady Jo / Pace plane pit. Luckily most of the sticker passed the 400+ kt speed test. With each run,
we trimmed more and more off the sticker until only the most tenacious portions of the billboard remained.
Qualifying third in the gold, we became the only mustang racing in the main event with "Voodoo" and
"Strega" sitting it out due to mechanicals.
On Saturday, a cracked header tank and some other issues on Ridge Runner led to the installation
of Strega's prop and spinner, to be tested on Race day.
Sunday, Dan had a strong start in the Gold, settling into third from the start as Rare Bear led Brian
Sanders in Dreadnought. On the second lap, Ridge Runner moved into second place. It looked
great for a moment until a burned piston facilitated an early departure from the race. It was a great
run.
We sold our new gear which Debuted at Oshkosh '05 along with the official race crew shirts for the
Ridge Runner team. Astute Lost Squadrophiles discovered the new Aircraft Records shirt designed by us.
