Black baseball cap with a sketch depicting a plane crashed nose-first into a building overlaid by a red "no" circle-/ symbol across the front
The sketch of an airplane crashed into a cabin on this cap was made by Jim Robb (b. 1933), an artist renowned in the Yukon for his depictions of life and scenes throughout the territory in his distinctive “exaggerated truths” style. The characteristic lop-sided buildings left behind from the Gold Rush are a popular subject for his work, but this cap shows his creativity in capturing the risky nature of bush-flying in the Yukon, despite the adventurousness that goes with it. Of course, the red-bar reminds pilots what not to do!
