Hagerstown Flying Boxcars News Release
HAGERSTOWN, MD - Today, the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars have revealed their primary logo, paying homage to the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar Aircraft.
The Flying Boxcar has played an integral role in Hagerstown's storied aviation history. The aircraft was manufactured at the Fairchild plant in Hagerstown, Maryland, and was of the utmost importance to the United States Military in the 40's, 50's and early 60's. The City of Hagerstown became synonymous with the Fairchild Flying Boxcar and is still recognized as the birthplace of the aircraft.
The Flying Boxcars primary logo utilizes several colors that show a deep connection to downtown Hagerstown, including "Boxcar Gray" which emulates the color of the Fairchild C-119 and "Hagerstown Brick" which highlights the architectural aesthetic of Downtown Hagerstown. The Navy Blue resembles that which was shown on the original C-119 aircraft.
The new Flying Boxcars logo was revealed on Wednesday evening at the Hagerstown Aviation Museum alongside one of the original C-119 aircraft, in front of stakeholders and season ticket holders. The event was live streamed through the team's Facebook page and more content and photos from the evening can be found across @goflyingboxcars social media accounts.
