A little detail. A lot of tradition.
This Dehner boot was handcrafted for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and if you look closely, you’ll notice something unusual on the outside of the boot:
The No. 5 is upside down. That’s not a mistake.
It’s a Thunderbird tradition.
Thunderbird No. 5 is the Lead Solo, the pilot who performs many of the team’s signature inverted maneuvers. When No. 5 is flying upside down, the inverted “5” on the aircraft appears right-side up to the crowd.
We carry that same tradition onto the boot.
It’s one of those small details that most people might miss, but for those who know the Thunderbirds, it tells the whole story.
Built in Omaha with the details that matter.
