The company’s primary goal soon became the training of post-war military pilots returning from active duty to work in the early civilian airlines. Plotters, regulations and training manuals were the first products. In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and books added to the ground school training line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, the company became Northwest School of Aviation under a new owner, Roy Beech. The company’s goal was the franchise of the popular Merrell Ground School under the name “Aviation Seminars of America,” or ASA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November, 1976, Joe Cucchiari purchased the company. “Aviation Supplies and Academics” replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to go with the ASA acronym, and the company again broadened its product line to add cassette courses and new books and training materials. The company was incorporated in 1977. In 1981, Joe Finelli joined the organization, bringing 20 years of experience in printing and publishing with him. Publishing and manufacturing has since become the principal company mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Emb_a2DvFtE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-05-21T13:49:17-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc."},{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics In"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2021-05-21T13:49:18-04:00","alt":null,"width":500,"height":500,"src":"\/\/mavenvps.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ASA_Logo.jpg?v=1621619358"}},{"id":270014611616,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2024-10-31T16:25:05-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-05-21T13:52:52-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Lightspeed Aviation"}],"published_scope":"web"}]
ASA logbooks have been The Standard of the industry for over 55 years. The highly recognizable logo that appears on all ASA logbooks has become a symbol of quality and achievement. This retro snapback trucker hat is the latest addition to The Standard collection from ASA, and a friendly nod to the classics of yesterday. Suitable for wear in the cockpit, hangar, or local FBO, The Standard Trucker Hat is sure to be a favorite among pilots, AMTs, and aviation enthusiasts everywhere.
So why is it called a trucker hat if there is an airplane on it? The history of these mesh-backed hats goes way back to the seventies when the style was made popular by, you guessed it, truckers. The front panel of a traditional trucker hat was made of foam with a silk-screened design. However, we moved it up a notch and replaced the foam front with a fine-stitched durable cotton blend, and added a touch of class with The Standard logo gold-embroidered onto it.
All aviation professionals are held to a standard, and anything shy of that is simply unacceptable. The Standard Trucker Hat is a way to show the world that the wearer has not only met the standard, but will perform to it every time, in everything they do.
