Deck the Halls with AOPA
AOPA Launches Series of Holiday Ornaments


Snow-covered roofs and trimming the tree may be the last thing on your mind this summer, but at AOPA we’re thinking ahead to the winter holiday season and the first edition release of AOPA’s collector’s holiday ornaments.

AOPA is launching a series of limited–edition holiday ornaments that will become treasured family keepsakes. For the first year’s ornament, the 1939 Electra Jr. has been selected. Known by many as an aircraft similar to what Amelia Earhart flew on her infamous last journey, the Electra Jr. was a popular aircraft in 1939, the same year AOPA was founded.

Measuring 2-1/2 inches high and 3 inches wide, the AOPA Holiday Ornament is made of stamped metal and has a three-dimensional effect. In addition to the Electra Jr., AOPA wings help members show off their status as pilots. Written below the airplane is AOPA’s slogan from its 70th anniversary -“A legacy to be proud of and a future of excellence.”

AOPA’s 2010 Holiday Ornament is available for $24.99 and may be purchased at the AOPA Store. As with all AOPA merchandise, the proceeds from the sale of the Holiday Ornament go toward protecting and championing general aviation.
