Aviator Holiday Shopping

By now your probably tired from camping outside the local pilot shop at the FBO so you could snag that Black Friday deal on a new headset.  What’s that? You were sleeping at home? Yea me too.

In case you don’t know what to get yourself or your favorite aviator significant other, we have a few holiday gift suggestions right here.

2012 AACGNY “Plane Janes” Calendar

Remember those guys that dropped trow in the name of raising money for their antique airplane club? Well, they did it again. This time Stew and the guys somehow managed to convince mama Annemarie that the club would sell more calendars if they got some chicks (err I mean ladies) to pose instead of them.  I mean everyone has to start on a budget right?

Somehow Stew got her to go along with the whole chicks idea, and the 2012 AACGNY calendar is called “Plane Janes”! What’s even better is that Annemarie was able to sneak some EXCLUSIVE AirplanePorn shots!

So don’t be a cheap scape.  Get your wallet out and buy a calendar or three here:

Ruby’s Aviation Calendar 2012

Speaking of calendars, here is another “safe for work” calendar featuring great aviation photography put together by a great aviator.  Marilyn Dash flies a Pitts year round and races at Reno.  This calendar has lots of Reno Racers and even upside down shots.  This calendar will brighten up any aviators life (especially if they dwell in a slate grey cubicle at work)!

Rusty Jugs

Maybe you need a gift that’s a little more unique? My pal Wayne from Taildraggers, Inc. has a few in his Cafe Press store “Rusty Jugs”. You can get most of his designs as t-shirts, mugs and hats. His “Tricycles are for Babies” design is a classic. I wore the  “I’m A Pilot, Frightening Isn’t It” t-shirt at Oshkosh and got stopped by lots of people wanting to know where I got my cool t-shirt.

Wayne is a super cool dude and I’m sure 100% of the proceeds get stuffed back into avaition somehow!

Warbird Pinup Wines

Perhaps your gift recipient has a finer taste. Lets say they’ll want something that tastes good AND looks good. Well look no further than Warbird Pinup Wines! I interviewed these folks at Oshkosh and they have some unique aviation themed wine.

Each variety offers a military hero and features artwork of a pin up model. I got to meet several of the models at Oshkosh and they were all thrilled to be able to honor our heros.


You can even hire them to come to your next event or party with their wine AND the models.  Just don’t forget to invite your old pal from AirplanePorn ok?

AirplanePorn T-Shirt

If you still can’t decide, just buy them an AirplanePorn t-shirt! There is no better way to say “I’m a Airplane Porn Star!” then to show it off with a t-shirt. Besides your sales support this site so I can bring you this awesome airplane blog.

Hog Time

Just in case you were wondering, it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything that I almost forgot the login and password for the site. Almost.  Have no fear though. I’m back and will be posting at least weekly.  I’ve got some cool video segments coming up, including some awesome product reviews.

In the mean time, here is a video highlighting the need for hog control. These guys use a helicopter and a damned cool sighting system to get the advantage on the hogs.  Now before you start emailing me and getting on your whole PETA soapbox remember two things.  One, shooting hogs from helos is legal in Texas and two, they are not that cute. Especially if your a farmer, or a small kid playing in a field.

And don’t forget – there are other aviation bloggers who advocate the intake of certain pig products :)

Take that you dirty pigs! Oink, Oink!!! What now piggies!!! OHHH YEAA!!

Watch it in full screen mode for the full HD effect.  Enjoy 22 minutes of peaceful flying through Texas complete with Johnny Cash tunes!

Amanda’s Bench

@juliewillfly on twitter has a new mission.  She decided with Kyle Franklin’s permission (husband of Amanda Franklin who we lost to an accident this year), to collect money to erect a memorial bench to be placed at the Neosho Airport.

She went on a road trip to scout out the perfect bench design. She found the design that would be perfect at the National Museum of the US Air Force.  Several examples can be found here:  http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/photos/mediagallery.asp?galleryID=532 

 

The bottom line is she’s trying to collect $2900.  In airplane dollars that’s nothing. Like a few tires. A crappy prop. One instrument.

Please forward this post, repost it and let’s help get the word out.

Amanda was an amazing woman, who touched many lives and inspired people everywhere. Please make this happen for her. 

You can donate at: www.moonlightfund.org and specify the Kyle & Amanda Franklin Fund (Amanda’s Bench). You can also send a check to the Kyle & Amanda Franklin Fund (Amanda’s Bench), c/o The Moonlight Fund, PO Box 1299, Bandera TX 78003. The Moonlight Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides 24/7-assistance to burn survivors and their families in their hour of need.

You can find out more about Kyle and Amanda at: http://www.franklinairshow.com

Coney Island Top Gun

About the best thing to rocket out of the 80′s was Tom Cruise strapped to the front of an F-14 dripping testosterone with his back seater “Goose” giving the enemy the “bird”. That movie still holds the record for the most cliche aviation quotes. In case you need to get up to speed you can check out IMDB here. “Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby. Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full”.

Once you’ve brushed up on quotes, you can go see Top Gun at  EPIX summer Movie Free-for-All event Monday, July 25th in Coney Island in New York! Nathan’s Hot Dogs and Top Gun, hell yea!

We’ve been offered media access, but the AirplanePorn crew will be touching down at Oshkosh 2011 that day. If you’re not headed to the big show and you’re in NYC, this is a must see for any “real” aviation nut!

Extra bonus points if you drag out your US Navy G-1 Leather Flight Jacket to watch the show in, just don’t wear shorts.  Negative bonus points for lathering up in baby oil and playing beach volley ball during the show (I always fast forward that section)!

You can also win VIP seats to the show. EPIX is also running a Twitter contest called Sweet Seats. Fans can enter to win VIP seats to select screenings by following @EpixHD on Twitter.  EPIX will announce on their Twitter handle when the contest begins for each movie, then all you have to do is tweet to @EpixHD with the hashtag #EPIXFFA as instructed to become eligible to win. http://epx.ms/rules0

We’re running our own AirplanePorn contest!  EPIX gave us three copies of TOP GUN to give away! To win, make sure you are following us on Twitter at @AirplanePorn. Then tweet us your favorite TOP GUN quote that you have actually used somewhere with the hashtag #APTOPGUN.
