About Airspeed Junkie

Thanks for visiting with Airspeed Junkie. Our goal is to add value to the aviation community. You will quickly find that we do not carry the same products as the rest of the pilot shop websites. We really do not strive to be "just another". Instead we have two main goals. The first is to offer really valuable information on our blog to help newer pilots that are just developing their aviation careers. We feel that it is our job as pilots to pass on what we have learned for a better future in aviation.

The second is to offer custom and unique products that we are proud to manufacture ourselves for our customers. We have a distinct advantage of being commercial pilots, so we really love to focus on finding or developing items that fit into what pilots and flight attendants really want. Our goal is to take care of you, our customer. We want you to feel welcome and that you have a say in our products. You are not just a sales number and we don't use robots.

We offer a lot of items that are customizable, we care about offering the details that make items special. If you have a suggestion or even a better idea, we are open to hearing you. Our goal is to have you come back again and again, so naturally we want you to be happy.

The Founder's Letter

There comes a point where aviation stops being something you do.  It becomes part of who you are.  It is found in the little things.  The way the air feels today.

The way the sun rises over the cowling before departure.  The sound of a turbine winding down after a long flight.  The smell of Jet-A or 100LL that instantly brings back memories.  It is seeing the wonder in a child's eyes when they look at you in uniform.

And quietly realizing that, for just a moment, you represented something bigger than yourself.  Aviation gives you a skill.  But more importantly...  It gives you a community.  You are never the most important person in aviation.  You are simply one partner in something much larger than yourself.

Sometimes that family is demanding.  Sometimes it is frustrating.  Sometimes it celebrates with you.  Sometimes it grieves with you.  But it is always there.  That sense of belonging changes you.  And once aviation becomes part of you...  It never really leaves.

That is what Airspeed Junkie exists to celebrate.
