FLY ME TO…WHEREVER LET’S PLAY Every pilot has his/her flight bag. As most of the stuff we’re lugging around in them has been transferred to tablets, flight bags might change and we’ll wait until that happens. Meanwhile there’s something you cannot load on to your tablet—the clothes you’ll have to pack for that weekend trip. Give your pilot one of those and off you go. For the bush pilot: Red Canoe (http:// redcanoebrands.com/) For the stylish weekend traveler: Tumi (www.tumi.com/home/index.jsp). Toys are just for kids, right? Even if they’re aviation-themed, right? Right. Go ahead, we won’t tell. Here are some toys we found fun: Disney Planes “Racing Dusty” remote-controlled airplanes and helicopters Available through the Disney Store (www.disneystore.com/toys/ die-cast-planes/mn/1019304/) and Amazon (amazon.com). DOG DAYS OF FLYING A very special gift for the mutt pilot— protect your pet’s ears when you fly with them. Give them one of these wonderful ear muffs and they’ll enjoy flying with you even more. Available through Mutt Muffs (www.safeandsoundpets.com/ index.html) STO We’re not done yet! Look for more ideas in next month’s “Pilot Briefing.” We’re going to talk books, jewelry, and more.
