Flight Instructor Slasher Style mug

About this flight instructor gift

Flight instructors spend their days in small cockpits next to nervous students, calling out airspeed, walking them through crosswind landings and sitting through the same pattern work until it clicks. Most of them are building time toward a job flying for an airline or a cargo carrier, and the hours are long and often paid poorly, so the gifts they keep tend to be the ones that acknowledge the grind. A soft tee for the hangar or the flight line, a hoodie for the cold early-morning preflight checks, or a mug that's clearly theirs for the coffee they drink while planning the next lesson. Put their name on it, or add their rating or certificate, CFI or CFII, so the shirt says what they actually do. If you're buying for a whole flight school, the Team Shop lets you order one design with each instructor's name on their own shirt, which makes a better thank-you than another box of donuts. Flight school graduations and checkride season are good times to order.
