For the pilot in your life

• Picking out clothing for your significant other or siblings isn’t the easiest thing to do, unless you’re buying them apparel that proclaims their joy in flying. AOPA’s apparel offerings from the store range from hoodies and fleeces to T-shirts and polos. So, you can appeal to your recipient’s love of leisure or desire to dress smartly no matter the event, all the while proudly telling the world they’re a pilot.
• Everyone needs a hat—summer heat or winter snow, you need to keep a lid on it to protect from the sun or cold. The AOPA Gear Store collection runs the gamut from camouflage pilot cap to knit beanie. This is an easy gift to round out your list and the price range is $19 to $28.

• Wondering what to gift someone like your instructor, co-pilot, or favorite lineman, how about a mug or tumbler? We all need our coffee and to stay hydrated, right? The AOPA Store has 25-ounce tumblers in a variety of designs, from seaplane images to the AOPA wings, our tumblers are stainless-steel and range in price from $18 to $35. Our coffee mugs declare their love of flying with the AOPA logo or our catchphrase “Your Freedom to Fly” as well as witty sayings such as “This is my preflight,” “Eat. Sleep. Fly,” and “Pilot Fuel.” There’s a range of sizes from 11 ounces to 16 ounces and nice price tags starting from $15.
• Are you a stocking stuffer gift-giver? The AOPA Pilot Gear store has a collection of clever gifts to stock that stocking: packing cubes, fanny packs, playing cards, toiletry kits, and even a license frame plate (try sticking that in a stocking).

Visit the AOPA Pilot Gear store for many fun, flying-forward gift ideas.
