What to get your CFI?

Isn't "Happily Married" an oxymoron? - right up there with "Military
Intelligence" and "Government Assistance"?

You kidding? My wife is a pilot, lives to fly, rides a motorcycle, thinks
camping next to the plane is heaven, drinks only good German beer, and loves
to, uh...golf.

More like ecstatically married, since 1985. (And we dated for 9 years
before *that*!)

If it is just the CFI, tickets to a concert go down well.
In my own case, many people in the flight school had helped me, so I had
a caterer take everyone lunch with a card of thanks.

Money works for me. Perhaps you could buy him some time in the plane
for himself. Since he is married, you could always give him a ham or
some steaks.
Continue on with your instrument rating, after your privite, and use
this instructor. Let everyone know how great he is and recruit new
students for him. I have had many former students let me know how much
they enjoy flying and this is thanks enough for me. Who am I kidding,
I still like cash. lol
Merry Christmas

I just have to ask...

I'm married. What is it about the fact that I'm married that makes "ham or
some steaks" a particularly suitable Christmas gift for me?

Because I don't think you'd be interested in loose women, and the OP
is underage for purchasing alcohol.

I think this was a response after my wise crack.

Congrats Slick! I bought lunches for mine on many occasions after most
flights. When I got my ticket, I took two of my CFIs out to Outback,
good thing they weren't Vegets.

Well, if you live anywhere near Iowa, I know a certain aviation theme-suites
hotel that happens to sell gift certificates...
