#1. Wooden Props
These can be as simple or as fancy as you want and there are options on how to display them. Depending on the propeller, or your determination, you can mount these on a wall or simply lean them in a corner for an interesting accent to any room.
- At the top end of the spectrum, there’s the Six-foot Sensenich Wooden Display Propeller. These gorgeous propellers are the real deal, or just a step below. Right from the Sensenich factory in Plant City, Florida, this Propeller is crafted from yellow birch wood featuring a clear lacquer finish with hand-painted olive tips and polished brass edging. Center hub includes stamped serial numbers and, on the back of the hub, the words “not airworthy” appear. While it’s not airworthy, it’s definitely worthy of a place of honor in any home or office.- Coming in at around $150 is the Vintage Wooden Propeller with painted tips. It’s modeled after the flying machines during WWI and the roaring 20s. This authentic reproduction is hand-crafted of solid wood, just like the originals. This propeller is also 6 feet long and it includes hanging hardware. It’s the best value for the size.
- If you’re looking for something less dominating but still a wonder to look at, there’s a 46-inch Vintage Style Propeller. At only $29.99 this propeller is a steal for a unique aviation gift. It’s hand-crafted from wood and features hand-painted black tips accompanied by a red stripe. The center hub has chrome plated tacks to simulate bolts, and a keyhole hanger mounted on the back for easy hanging.
#2. Door Mats and Hall Runners
- These mats all have three things in common: they are durable, functional, and perfect for pilots. This Premium Plush Runner is a great option for leading people to your sanctuary whether that’s your office, garage, or bar. They feature runway markings, plush carpet, and a diamond cut pattern.
#3. Wall Art

These Custom Tail Number Replica Signs are reproduced to match your desired tail number, be it your own, your friend’s or maybe an old family airplane. It makes a great talking piece for any room. All we need is a good picture of the tail you want to replicate.
#4. Christmas-Themed Decor
- The Fly Boy Santa Figurine is an all-time favorite during the holidays. These are all handcrafted and the care they put into creating them shows in the details. The wooden propeller has “Merry Christmas” printed on the blades, and the base has been sprinkled with snow.
- Start or continue a tradition with the annual Sporty’s Christmas ornament. Every year we produce a new design featuring one special airplane. This year features The North American Aviation T-6 “Texan,” a single-engine advanced trainer that was flown by dozens of air forces worldwide from World War II through the 1970s. The ornament is crystal with the design laser-etched for a lasting finish.
- Who doesn’t love the little Cessna 172? It’s the perfect trainer aircraft and it’s safe to say that most pilots have flown one at some time in their life. Crafted of a resin/marble mix, the Cessna Ornament features painted graphics and a matching silver ribbon for easy display.
