Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and there’s a good chance you might still be searching for the perfect gift. If you have an aviation-lover in your life, leave traditional gifts behind and consider one of these five ideas.
- Discovery Flight
Maybe that special someone in your life has been dreaming of becoming a pilot but hasn’t had a chance to experience what it’s really like yet. Discovery Flights are an amazing opportunity to take control of the aircraft alongside an instructor, and experience what it’s like to be a pilot. At Sterling, you can ride along to see the joy on their face first-hand and enjoy the beautiful beach views alongside them. - Flight Lessons
It’s no secret that flying can be an expensive passion to pursue. If your significant other is looking to start flight training, or is even well into their studies, you can purchase block time to be used toward their certificate or rating. - GoPro
In-air videos and photos are breathtaking, but how do you capture the perfect shot at the controls? A GoPro is a great way to capture your aviation experience and never miss a beat. With aircraft-specific mounts for both inside and outside the plane, you can get the best shots from every angle. - Aerobatic Flight
If you think your person has seen and done it all, give them a special treat with an experience flight. Several companies offer flights in historic aircraft (Google a Piper J-3 Cub) or provide the opportunity to ride-along on an aerobatic flight. - UAS Training
One of the fastest growing areas in aviation is unmanned aerial vehicles, and if your loved one is already a pilot they can fast track their UAS license. Part 107 training is inexpensive and can help them make sure they don’t crash that expensive toy you may have also gotten them this holiday season.
