About Sporty's
Who we are
Sporty’s, the world’s largest pilot shop, has been offering high quality aviation products and supplies for more than 50 years. Many of these products are designed in-house by our staff of pilots and tested in our flight school. Our experience as pilots, as educators, as airport managers, as aviation advocates–along with our many other endeavors–affords us a unique qualification to provide only the products and services that are the best value to our customers.
What we believe
- You have the RIGHT to same-day shipping at no extra charge.
- You have the RIGHT to a one-year guarantee on the products you buy.
- You have the RIGHT to speak to a knowledgeable, cheerful customer service rep rather than pressing digits on your phone.
- You have the RIGHT to pay the lowest published price on all items, and we back that up with Sporty’s price guarantee.
- You have the RIGHT to expect quality products that have been pilot-tested and pilot-approved.
