Humorous pilot tee with nine illustrated activities about flying planes, from research to daydreaming in spare time.
The story behind this design
A visual checklist of what pilots actually do—and think about—during downtime. Nine simple line-drawn icons arranged in a three-by-three grid show the full spectrum: go flying (small aircraft), look at airplanes (magnifying glass), research airplanes (laptop), talk about airplanes (speech bubble), think about airplanes (thought bubble), and dream about airplanes (sleeping figure amid clouds). Above in flowing script reads 'Things I Do,' below in crisp sans-serif, 'In My Spare Time.' The text is rendered in warm orange and cream tones against black; the icons maintain a sketch-like simplicity that feels authentic and relatable. Small stars dot the bottom, adding a touch of whimsy without overwhelming the layout.
Who it's for
A must-have for pilots at any career stage, from student to seasoned captain, and for aviation enthusiasts who relate to the obsession. Perfect gift for someone earning their license, celebrating a flying milestone, or anyone who checks flight tracking apps in their spare time. Colleagues will laugh; family will get it. Ideal for casual wear around the hangar or as a gift for that person whose hobbies revolve entirely around aviation.
