Tail CardsThe holiday gift for the pilot who has everything
Looking for a Christmas or holiday gift for a pilot? Give a pack of real trading cards of the airplane they fly, with its tail number, specs, and your photo. Order by December 1 for Standard delivery before Christmas.
A gift no other pilot has
Pilots already own the mug, the t-shirt, and the logbook cover. A stack of trading cards of their own airplane is something they have never seen. Type the tail number and the card fills itself in from the FAA registry: make, model, year, serial number, engine, and how rare the type is. Add a photo from the ramp and a caption like "Merry Christmas from the hangar".
Who it is for
Airplane owners, student pilots and their instructors, airline and corporate pilots, retired aviators, and the whole flying club. If the airplane has an N-number, it has a card, from a Piper Cub to a Boeing 737.
Stocking stuffers and gift exchanges
Packs come in 10, 25, 50, or 100 identical cards, so one order covers a pilot, their family, and the hangar neighbors. Flying clubs and flight schools can build a matching set for every airplane on the line.
Order-by dates for Christmas delivery
Each order is printed for you in about 3 business days, then shipped. For delivery before December 25, order by December 1 with Standard shipping, December 8 with Express, or December 10 with Priority Express. These are estimates: carriers get busy in December, so earlier is safer.
How it works
Enter the tail number, upload your photo, choose a color and pack size, and check out. We print standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch cards and mail them to you or straight to the pilot.
