Great Gift Ideas for Pilots!
If you think back to your days when starting out on your flight training, we all have unquestionably received a few unexpected pilot-specific gifts. Last year, a friend of mine recently started his first corporate job flying a Lear 35. That Christmas, his Dad bought him a t-shirt which proudly stated “Lear Jet Pilot” on the front. While nothing compares to how proud his Dad was of his son for landing his first professional flying job, it never hurts to have a wish list for our non-pilot friends and family to reference for the holidays! 
Garmin’s Holiday Gift Guide has our latest and most-requested aviation portables, applications and accessories. Looking for some additional guidance? Below are some of our top picks for pilots:
- Garmin Pilot application for iOS/Android – Pilots around the world who are looking for an all-inclusive aviation application will find full-featured navigation, worldwide weather, terrain/obstacle information and more! This app is available on both iOS and Android operating platforms.
- VIRB Elite HD Action Camera – Capture exciting in-flight videos with VIRB, which includes the option to overlay altitude, airspeed and heading information within the video.
