Airline Pilot Retirement Gift, The Customized Gift for Aviators, Commercial, Pilot Gifts, Vintage Airline

When an airline pilot retires it is a big deal.  Finding an airline pilot retirement gift that matches has always been hard until now.  If there is one thing a pilot is very proud of it is their accomplishments.  Pilots love to show off their hard work, the airplanes they fly, and a life dedicated to safely transporting people and their families.  We have taken choice materials and have combined them into a handsome gift that will be proudly displayed.  Wood, leather and metal are all combined to give homage to a great career. This is our number one best selling gifts for pilots.

Colored Laminated Wood Plaque 15” x 12”
Customized Engineered Leather with graphics and text
Custom engraved metal for years of service and airline.

I DO NOT NEED YOUR EPAULETS OR WINGS, THAT IS THE PART OF THE PLAQUE YOU SUPPLY (those are uniform items)

Each section of this plaque is easily customized for a one of a kind gift.

Leather name plate.  In the fields provided type in the name of your retiring pilot.  If they are a Captain, then we will Automatically use the word Captain in front of the name.  If your pilot is a first officer, then we will omit the captain title and just use the name.  Put in the name exactly as you want it

Aircraft While a retiring pilot has flown multiple different airplanes in their career, we ask you to select the aircraft they are on when they retire.  The Airbus 320 in this example is just an example and the drop down list of aircraft are what we currently carry.  Each aircraft has a interesting list of specs that come along with the graphics.

Last Flight (top left)  This graphic contains the last flight information that your retiring pilot made.  Please use the enclosed box to add in the city pairing, flight number and date.

Epaulets  The epaulets shown are not provided on this plaque unless requested.  Chances are they do not match your companies color scheme or uniform type.  They are merely an example. (think of them as models)  To most personally decorate this gift it is best to use the retiring pilots actual epaulets.  To do this is simple, we provide a Velcro mounting base and supply you with two pieces of Velcro to adhere to your own company epaulets.  Simply stick them on and you’re ready to present.

Airline Logo  Shown is a fictional logo for trademark purposes.  This will not be the logo you receive.  You can simply input the airline of your choice and we will make sure that the metal is engraved and attached to the gift for the ultimate look.

Years of Service  This also is a choice that you customize by choosing the number of years you would like to have on the retirement gift.

Wings  Paper wings are included for gifting The blank box is for the pilots personal wingset. This is designed to hold the pilots actual wings.  We also have two pictures with actual wings to show you what they look like.  Again it is best to actually use the wings that your pilot has on their uniform.  On the back of the wings are two posts that are sharp and can easily be inserted through the leather and into the plaque  The leather outline highlights the placement.

The Perfect Gift

To clarify this gift has some elements that you provide to make it personal.  You will need the pilot who is retiring name, last flight, uniform wings (NOT hat brass) and epaulets.  These items are not included in the purchase of this gift. By purchasing this gift and customizing it with your company's name and logo, you agree that this is NOT for resale.  This Airline Pilot Retirement gift is not found anywhere else and will be sure to be the hit of the party.

Shipping in the USA via USPS Priority and UPS Ground. Canada and Mexico Shipping are also available. Please let me know if you want express or international service, I can accommodate that but advanced options such as second day air is not free.

The example shown is purposely generic and is NOT BRANDED TO ANY AIRLINE FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS LISTING

FAQ's
1. Do you carry all the logo's for all the airlines? Please ask us if your retiring pilot works for an airline that is not as well known as the majors. If we do not have it, we will go out and make arrangements for getting it. It may take a couple of extra days to get the logo into the correct vector art format. This is a personalized gift and does not represent any one airlines brand.

2. Does this gift come with Epaulets? No, we show the epaulets so that you can get an idea of what they look like. The whole idea is to use the retiring pilots epaulets, they are going to love that idea. Plus epaulets are considered uniforms and we cannot simply go out and purchase all the different colors and styles from each airline it is illegal.

3. How do I get my wings onto this gift? Follow the super easy directions for installing your own pilot wings.

4. Do you do foreign airlines? Yes, again everything depends on the logos for the airlines. Airlines that are no longer operating can be more of a challenge I am trying to add as many as I can find so message me and I can let you know.

5. What aircraft do you have available right now? Boeings: 737 classic, 737-200, 737-300/400, 737-700, 737-800, 737-900, 747-400, 747-8F (cargo) 757, 767, 777, 787, 717 Airbus: 320, 330, 350 Other: CRJ200, CRJ900, E-190, E175, MD-80, MD-90 and MD-11 (new)

6. What happens if my captain's last flight date is changed due to the change in schedules? No problem, we can easily swap that out for you after it ships. The plaque is designed to be able to swap this out for that very reason.

7. What is customization? Customization is swapping out names, dates, flight information, and aircraft. It is NOT redesigning the whole plaque to meet your specifications. Please read the entire listing for all the information needed.
8. We cannot show every plaque we made here, to see a complete list, check out our pinterest page.
9. What is the finish of the plaques? These are laminated finishes on each of the three colors.
