subject: Ordinary To Outrageous Pilot Gifts [print this page] Many men dream of soaring off into the sunset flying a plane at thousands of feet in the air, its feeling of freedom and being able to control one of the biggest pieces of machinery in the world, whats not to love? Not every man manages to make his dream career of being a pilot. Thats why there is so much pilot gift merchandise on offer in the shops to put a smile on any mans face. They may not be a dream career in a gift box but they are the next best thing to having a taster of the lifestyle.
Flying lessons are the next best thing if you havent managed to get a job or if you want to build up your flying hours. To enable you to be a pilot you have to have a certain amount of flying hours where you have gained the experience of flying, learning everything you need to know and, dealing with different weather situations. You can choose an option of flying lessons; firstly they can be for different time slots. For example you can have a 30 minute flying lessons for 77.00 of a 60 minute lesson for 135.00. You can then choose the part of the country you fly in and this can range from Newcastle to Newquay and more. Some people simply cannot afford the time and cost of flying lessons as they can be very expensive.
Another gift option which a small fraction of the world can afford to do is to actually buy a plane. You have to have enormous amounts of money to own your own plane, as they can cost anything from thousands to millions of pounds. Celebrity super-star; Beyonce recently bought her rapper husband Jay-Z a $40 million private jet for a fathers day present. The jet features a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. This isnt the only cost for running a jet like this one, an average flight costs between $20,000-$30,000 and this is without the cost of hiring a pilot. Fashion icon; Kim Kardashian is famously known for hiring a pilot to privately fly her around the world on her public events and promotions. Hiring a pilot for the day is thought to cost around $6,000 plus expenses.
If you havent got the money to splash the cash on a private jet then why not opt for an old school paper flying plane. At a very cheap price of 50p you can purchase one of these planes made out of paper and, enjoy the thrill of racing it with your friends and family without having to splurge out on flying lessons or a private jet.
