Sporty’s free webinar series continues into fall and winter with a mix of timely topics designed to help pilots stay informed, proficient, and safe. Each interactive session is led by an experienced flight instructor or industry expert and includes a live Q&A session.

Sporty’s Aviation Gifts has launched a new flight jacket that pays tribute to one of aviation’s most iconic flight jackets—the MA-1 bomber jacket. First issued to Air Force and Navy pilots in the 1950s, the MA-1 became a symbol of American airpower and aviation heritage. Now, Sporty’s brings that same spirit into the 21st century with its exclusive Modern MA-1 AeroWear™ Jacket, designed as the ultimate all-season jacket.

Sporty’s has combined two powerful training programs into one comprehensive offering: Real World Flight Review. This new course pairs Sporty’s acclaimed Flight Review online video course with PilotWorkshops’ Real World VFR program, creating the most complete and practical flight proficiency resource available today.

Sporty’s latest addition to its Aviation Gifts collection takes inspiration directly from the beauty and nostalgia of commercial airline travel. The new Cast Aluminum Aircraft Window Picture Frames replicate the timeless look of jet windows, making them the perfect way to display favorite memories with a bold aviation touch.

Sporty’s has introduced its new line of Snug Seal Cowl Plugs, designed to protect aircraft engines from birds, critters, and debris while providing a secure, tangle-free fit.

Cowl plugs are an essential safeguard for parked airplanes, preventing foreign objects from entering the engine compartment. Birds and rodents can quickly turn an aircraft’s cowling into a nesting site, while leaves, twigs, and other debris pose risks of clogs, corrosion, and even fire hazards during startup.

Sporty’s has released a new Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Test Prep and Checkride Course, available now in the Sporty’s Pilot Training platform. Designed specifically for ATP Multiengine applicants, this all-digital course goes beyond rote memorization to deliver deep understanding, scenario-based learning, and oral exam readiness—all in one integrated solution.

Donald Ezeude didn’t grow up around airplanes or pilots—but after one life-changing flight on the Fourth of July, he quickly gained more than a passing interest in aviation. Now, just weeks into his flight training, Donald has been awarded Sporty’s $2,500 Pilot Training+ Scholarship to help fund his Private Pilot License.

Sporty’s has released two new portable power solutions designed specifically for pilots: the Flight Gear® Smart Battery Pack and its big brother, the Flight Gear Smart Battery Pack MAX. Both models feature a high-resolution color screen—an uncommon feature in backup batteries—that provides real-time readouts of remaining power, output in watts, temperature, and charging status. Whether you're powering an iPad or a Starlink Mini, these smart batteries offer clean, reliable energy with zero interference.

Sporty’s has introduced the newest generation of its popular Flight Gear line—six brand-new bags, designed from the ground up for today's pilots. Using customer feedback from thousands of flight hours and real-world testing at Sporty’s, these bags offer the ideal blend of thoughtful organization, modern features, and affordability.

Whether you're a student pilot heading to your first lesson or a professional pilot flying multiple legs per day, there's a Flight Gear bag built for your mission.

Sporty’s is proud to announce the launch of the Lightspeed Zulu 4, the latest generation of premium ANR aviation headsets, available now exclusively at Sporty’s. With a sleek new design, improved audio clarity, and industry-first Bluetooth capabilities, the Zulu 4 represents a bold step forward in flight deck technology—and Sporty’s customers will be the first to experience it!
