Gift for Airforce academy student

Any suggestion on what to get a (gift)for a future airforce academy
student who plans are to be professional pilot some day ? (graduated
this year from high school ) . I'm not a pilot , just a friend of the
family.

1 year subscription to a flying magazine.
2 year subscription to a flying magazine.

2 magazine subsriptions.

Tell him/her you'll go in for (x) subscriptions if (s)he'll tell you what
(s)he wants.

Smithsonian's Air&Space Magazine is good.
Flying
Plane&Pilot
....and more

Or, buy the young student pilot an hour of "acro time" at his/her home
airport.

Just some thoughts...

Membership in the ACLU.

Financial planning courses.
Or, how to fund your own retirement account. . .

Seriously, the "Flying" magazine is great subscription.
It has more usable information than many other of the
piloting related periodicals.

However, an AOPA subscription would be great, too.
Note that they cover many topics regarding employment
in their main magazine (I get both AOPA Pilot and AOPA Student
magazines).

Best of luck!

Go to the website and order some Air Force Academy stuff.

My uncle was in the first class at the Air Force Academy, 1959. He had
some very interesting stories. One odd thing, there weren't any
upperclassmen. Imagine going to college for four years and there
aren't any students more senior than you.

IMHO, I think that kind of stuff should have some student history behind it.
Since he isn't there yet, (though he has been accepted) I'd concentrate on
him - not the institution he's going to be attending.

We just sent off $25, $25 and $10 to three different graduates. Money works
too :-)

If a man, a good criminal defense lawyer against charges of rape.
If a woman, a good civil suit lawyer for sexual harrasment charges.

Flying lessons... THIS SUMMER! Yes, at your local airport.

I've sent freshmen to the USAFA with a completed CFI-GLider... they
got to teach UPPER-CLASSMEN to fly gliders!

I've gotten to deliver my CAP cadets to USAFA checkin... to the USAFA
airport. What a way to arrive at USAFA! Note... this takes 6 months
of letter writing to get written permission... but, it is doable. :-)
