Have a passion for flying? Always dream of becoming a pilot? Perhaps you have a future astronaut or Naval Aviator on your hands. Men and women, boys and girls, flyers of all kinds will find plenty to keep them in awe at the Fantasy of Flight gift shop.

Why dedicate an entire article to a gift shop? Because you’re going to find more than the typical t-shirts and magnets here; you’re going to find the history of flight, the dedication of the pilot, the passion of the hobbyist, the dreams of a man who not only wants to share his passion, but impart the idea on all of us that dreams are worthy our attention and are as important as breath.

Laura has long dreamed of flying, my fear often stepping in her way. Yet on this day I watched with amazement as she moved from display to display, plane to plane, book to book and shirt to shirt. She was in a dreamers heaven and I think you’re budding flyers will be as well.

Even I found plenty to tap into my bewildered love of planes.

From the Tuskegee Airmen to Amelia Earhart, from travel bingo to chick flyers, from those cool t-shirts to vintage flying memorabilia, you’re going to find it here.

But I will stop writing and let you see… here then are many of the items you’re going to find at Central Florida’s Fantasy of Flight. (Many items can be found in the Fantasy of Flight online store – click here to visit)

Ever since I was a kid and watched Black Sheep Squarden with Robert Conrad, I've thought the Corsair was a cool plane. I love this Corsail polo at Fantasy of Flight. Photo by Rori Paul
