Pilots are a different kind of breed. Their daily activities do not match with the rest of the people do.

Reading this article, you will have some idea of what to buy if you are considering to get a gift for your pilot friend.

Being a flight Instructor, I often receive gifts from a few of my student pilots. You can actually get a lot of good ideas for gifts online. All you need is a credit card to get one!

Pilot’s Pen (Led)

This is one of the most simple ideas of gifts for pilots. Because they don’t do everything on computers. The pilot pen can be used to make marks on charts while flying at night and it’s very handy since it has a function of Led light at the edge.
