It’s true. The restaurant chain best known for its buxom staff spins off an airline today with a flight from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
According to a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hooters Air is being launched by Bob Brooks, the chairman of Atlanta-based Hooters of America, to feed golfers to the South Carolina beach and golf resort city. Of course, Hooters Air will staff the jet with two “Hooters Girls” in tight T-shirts and shorts. The jets also will have three flight attendants for traditional safety-related functions. No word on what they’ll be wearing.
