Do you really want another sweater?

By Janice Wood · November 29, 2009 ·

Pilots can take charge of their own Christmas experience by directing friends and family to Sporty’s Gift Guide. Sporty’s has made it easy for non-pilot loved ones to select a gift for the pilot in their life with its list of gifts appropriate for all kinds of pilots.

“Your loved one doesn’t have to know an ATP from an AIM to pick something you’re going to like,” said Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman. “We’ve made suggestions for three kinds of pilots: student, private and advanced. That’s all they’ll have to figure out. Then we’ve made further suggestions for aircraft owners and then for someone who is simply an enthusiast.”

Budgets are taken into consideration as well, as Sporty’s has divided selections by budget. Gift selections start at $30 and increase up to the “over $500” category.

Sporty’s Gift Guide can be found here. Merchandise ordered by Wednesday, Dec. 23, can be delivered in time for Christmas, Sporty’s officials add.
