12 Days of Christmas – the ideal pilot gifts

by Matthew Stibbe on December 4, 2009

Some of my flying blogging buddies are running a series of posts about pilot gifts. For example, Vincent wrote about his wish for a Cirrus SR-22 and Max Trescott recommended the movie FlyAbout (which I also enjoyed very much). Well, I’ve been nice and not at all naughty this year and I hope Santa will bring me a Breitling Navitimer. I like it because it looks really technical and you can use the bezel as a kind of whizzwheel calculator to do time, speed and fuel consumption calculations. The design dates back to 1952 and it was originally designed with aviators in mind.
