CFI gift
I just recently finished up my latest rating, so it looks like for the most part i'm done flying with my instructor who has flown prob at least 100 hours with me (helped me get through private, instrument, and commercial).
I want to get him a thank you card and maybe a gift for helping me out so much. I can't think of what could be a good gift though. Any ideas?

Ramen Noodles :)
What a great idea!
Does he have any interests/hobbies? Magazine subscription?
Maybe tickets to a sporting event or concert
A prepaid gasoline card.
Is there anything in his flight bag that's old and worn out? Or the bag itself?
A free subscription to APC?
Just some random thoughts.....................

I purchased a wooden model C-172 for my PPL instructor. For my Instrument instructor I got him a meal gift card for 2. I am having a dilemma. My current commercial instructor is a working airline captain who makes over 6 figures. I am not at all sure what to buy him. He is an avid runner, so I am thinking of buying him a Garmin running watch for around $130. I am not sure if it's an ideal gift for him...

I had one student who bought me a ride in a B-17, when it happened to be in town. I told him it was too much but he insisted, said that he had the opportunity a few years before that and it was a once in a lifetime thing everybody should get to do, so he did it. He was right. Another was from Belgium and after a trip back home she brought a box of authentic Belgian chocolate. My point is there is a wide variety, I agree with a gift certificate to a restaurant or pre-paid gas card. Something practical is always good, feeding your CFI is even better!
We really never expect anything extra, I was always stoked when a student of mine completed another certificate or rating, but it is certainly a nice gesture and I always genuinely appreciated it.
