Holiday gift ideas for pilots?

[Mark815]

If you go to Sporty's pilot shop, they have a bunch of gifts, like a plaque for your certificate, runway beach towels, or even a cool wind meter that plugs into your smart phone!




No seriously though, please don't do any of that. Get him beer. If that's not something that you can do, a restaurant gift card would be my next choice. I got them a couple times when I was instructing and it was the best thing ever, because I was broke and always hungry.

Bulleit. $ for $, I think you'll have a really hard time finding better.

Bulleit IS good. I need to do a side by side comparison with Woodford to see which one I truly prefer. Both outstanding values though.

I would say to get him a really large wrist watch and/or a case of cold beer.

Start paying him 20 bucks more.

Restaurant gift card for the CFI, steakhouse would be awesome. If he's got a girlfriend, she will appreciate the break from ramen too.

Dang that is depressing. But that seems to be the popular recommendation, thanks guys.

The gift that keeps on giving.

It's not the acquisition costs that will get you...it's the operating costs.

Right now I am still drinking Woodford, but Bulleit is pretty tasty. We recently aged some corn mash in a very small barrel for a year….came out amazing! You guys should really try that if you are into Bourbon/Whiskey
