Hangar Fly
Custom Engraving & Aviation Inspired Artwork
Welcome!
Story Behind the Name
Hangar flying is an art in storytelling where aviation enthusiasts gather to share laughter, learning, inspiration, and tall tales. Hangar Fly is also a name used to describe someone who spends most of their time at the airport. For me, Hangar Fly is a brand that keeps the art of storytelling alive by promoting badass people, inspiring adventure, and sharing incredible stories of life, laughter, and travel. At Hangar Fly, I tell stories through custom items, translating ideas and people's memorable moments into unique pieces of art, evoking and inspiring adventure.

Story Behind The Logo & Mascot
Both of my logos are inspired by the Women Airforce Service Pilots, WASP, of WWII and modern military aviators.
The main logo was drawn to invoke a feeling of nostalgia. Depending on viewpoint, the silhouette of the female aviator could be modern or vintage. Her flight suit, leather jacket, and the illusion of wings and semblance of both a modern helmet and vintage flight goggles invoke a shared sisterhood that transcends time through the shared love of aviation and art of storytelling. The hangar is designed to replicate the WASP hangar at Avenger Field.
The mascot, Hazel the Fly Girl, is inspired by modern military aviators and the WASP mascot, Fifinella. Instead of a gremlin, she is a literal Fly Girl. She is named after WASP Hazel Ying Lee who was the last of 38 WASP's who died in service to their country.
