ASA is so grateful for the many dealers and retailers who make it possible to find our products all over the globe. Each month we will feature an ASA dealer here in ENROUTE and on our website. Our first Dealer of the Month for December 2022 is Sporty's Pilot Shop.

"Sporty’s Pilot Shop was founded in 1961 by a young flight instructor. From the very beginning, we focused on providing the best products backed by the best service. While Sporty’s operations have grown over the years, our commitment to the customer has remained the same. From products for the beginning flight student to the perfect headset for a 25,000-hour ATP, Sporty’s only sells the best products. ASA shares this same commitment to the customer and we are proud to offer their excellent products to our customers."

Results from the Holiday Poll

Based on the results from our last poll, our readers' favorite part of the holidays is a tie between "the family" and "the end," at 14.3%, followed by "the friends" at 11.9%.


The LEAST favorite aspect of the holidays chosen by 16.7% of our readers was "the gifts"! Following that were "the end" (Cindy Lou Who face) at 13.9% and the snow at 11%.


In summary, don't worry so much about the gifts, and enjoy family and friends while secretly whispering to yourself, "I can't wait until the snow melts and this is all over."
