Wright Flyer Featured on Sporty's Annual Christmas Ornament

Commemorating the centennial of powered flight with Sporty’s Crystal Christmas Ornament

This year’s ornament – Sporty’s 19th in the series – depicts the Wright Flyer. Custom-etched exclusively for Sporty’s, the ornament has a colorful ribbon to use for hanging and comes in a gift box.

Sportys says that, "If you don't have an existing collection of these popular limited-editions ornaments, you can start one this year."

With corporate activities in every segment of general aviation, Sporty's has evolved from The World's Largest Pilot Shop to More Than A Pilot Shop. Sporty's conducts flight training, performs aircraft maintenance, operates an avionics shop and sells new Cessna aircraft. Sporty's is known as The Home of the Sweepstakes Aircraft having given away at least one new aircraft every year since 1986.

Sporty's also has hangar space for more than 100 aircraft, 170 active students, 30 CFIs and 15 rental aircraft.
