A good day to grab gear

The longtime AOPA partner and retailer of aviation goods and training products is once again offering free shipping for AOPA members this year, with AOPADAY the code to apply at checkout. That can be applied to big, bulky purchases for those of you building a home flight simulator or small items like the brand-new 2022 Christmas ornament just released for your decoration preparation.

A fixture for decades at Clermont County Airport in Batavia, Ohio, Sporty's has supported AOPA for more than 50 years, and we've made shopping Sporty's a habit that helps sustain aviation for the long haul.

And you don't need to be fixing to shell out big bucks for a new headset to take advantage of this perk: Red Eye to Rome Espresso Ground Coffee is among the newer products Sporty's offers, among the many aviation essentials (for some of us, at least) that come in small packages perfectly suited to making the most of this free shipping offer on October 19.
