Aviation Gifts For Dedicated Pilots

However you choose to go about it, becoming a pilot takes dedication and hard work

. Whether pursuing the role as a civilian or military career, training is tough and takes a serious investment of time and, in the case of civilian life, if you are pursuing a Commercial Airline Pilots licence, money. You also need to have the right aptitudes; not just physical fitness but also the ability to handle pressure and to multitask, as well as strong personal skills and the calm, composed ability to make judgements and act on them with confidence.

Pilot training takes such a long time and requires so much effort, so when someone qualifies as a pilot after all that hard work, it makes sense that you would want to find the perfect gift for them. Thankfully there are pilot gifts out there that will be just the thing to show how proud you are of this achievement.

If someone has a passion for flying then its likely they will appreciate and may even collect memorabilia to do with aviation and its exciting and adventurous history. Within this broad category there are pilot gifts to suit all budgets. A particular favourite are items to commemorate one of Britians most iconic pieces of engineering, the Vickers Supermarine Spitfire. The plane that famously won the battle of Britain, with its distinctive fuselage and rounded wings, can feature on ties and cufflinks, wall clocks and even themed writing sets. Of course, to a real enthusiast nothing beats a well crafted and detailed model and there are some superb scale reproductions available in pewter and in hand-painted wood that can take pride of place on a pilots desk and are particularly appropriate in this patriotic year of the London Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee.

For the less military-minded, a range of retro luggage branded with the logos of the worlds famous airlines would make stylish pilot gifts and show a real international flavour, from the classic, instantly recognisable globe logos of Pan Am and Trans World Airlines to such quirky options as Aero California and Air Zaire which have a trendy vintage feel to them. Everything from holdalls for the long haul flights and layovers to jet set Cabin Bags and cosmetic pouches mean theyre something suitable for every aviator and every occasion.

Whatever gift you decide on, with a well chosen gift you can be sure that your newly qualified pilot will be continuing a legacy of skill and service that theyll be reminded of even as they start their own careers.
