{"product_id":"f-16-viper-stars-and-stripes-low-profile-dad-hat","title":"F-16 \"Viper\" Stars and Stripes Low Profile Dad Hat","description":"The F-16, is a highly versatile multirole fighter first flown in 1974 and introduced in 1978. Designed for agility, it was the first fighter with a fly-by-wire control system and a frameless bubble canopy for superior visibility. Over 4,600 F-16s have been built, making it the most produced fourth-generation fighter and the most widely used combat aircraft in the world, serving in over 25 air forces. Capable of 9G maneuvers, it remains a benchmark for fighter design.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOne notable record set by the F-16XL, a modified variant, was its fastest time-to-climb performance, reaching 12,000 meters (39,370 feet) in just 63.33 seconds. The F-16 continues to evolve with advanced variants like the F-16V and the unmanned QF-16 target drone, proving its lasting impact on modern air combat.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy are the stripes vertical?\u003cbr\u003e\nGreat question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony.  This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.","brand":"I Love a Hangar","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51765213331751,"sku":"9443341_7854","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":51765213364519,"sku":"9443341_7857","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cranberry","offer_id":51765213397287,"sku":"9443341_12735","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Grey","offer_id":51765213430055,"sku":"9443341_12736","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":51765213462823,"sku":"9443341_7855","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stone","offer_id":51765213495591,"sku":"9443341_7859","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":51765213528359,"sku":"9443341_7853","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/1219\/8232\/files\/classic-dad-hat-white-front-6a6c2e3793655.jpg?v=1785474645","url":"https:\/\/iloveahangar.com\/products\/f-16-viper-stars-and-stripes-low-profile-dad-hat","provider":"I Love a Hangar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
