New flight bag from Sporty’s, AOPA Store

By Janice Wood · June 20, 2011 ·

Now available at Sporty’s is the AOPA Flight Bag, which has specially designed pockets for storing pilot gear.

Double-padded headset pockets on each end of the bag will protect headsets, and a custom side organizer pocket keeps pens, pencils, sunglasses and charts in close reach.

Heavy-duty construction with metal hardware will withstand the abuse of a frequent flyer. The back of the bag also  features a roll-aboard strap.

Inside the AOPA Flight Bag, a center section measures 13 1/2”l x 9”w x 11”h, which is large enough to hold a manual, fuel tester, and E6B as well as a few books. The overall measurements of the AOPA Flight Bag are 18”l x 10”w x 12”h.

The AOPA Flight Bag [8499A] is available for $49.95 and may be purchased from the AOPA Store, a partnership between Sporty’s and AOPA, by calling 800-SPORTYS or at both Sportys.com and AOPAStore.com. Either way, a portion of the sales goes to AOPA.
