First Solo Commemorative Aviation Plaque

Larger than expected at 9"x12", but I'm not complaining. Workmanship is perfect and it was super well packaged and I would order again.

I ordered this plaque as a Christmas gift for my son, so he hasn't seen it yet.
I'm so pleased with the way this plaque turned out that I actually got teary eyed just looking at it. I live in North Carolina and my son lives in Arizona. I was able to be in Arizona for his first solo flight, so the plaque is very special for this proud Mother also!

We loved this plaque to memorialize my son's solo flght! I received it quite quickly and was more than please with the quality.

I bought this as a gift for my Son's 1st Solo.
He loved it!
What more could I expect? I'm a proud Dad.

I am thrilled with the Plaque you made for me.

My husband is now 74 and bad health keeps him grounded of late. But as a young man, he was adamant about getting his license and he did. It meant a lot to him and he truly enjoyed every minute of his time in the air. I can see the longing on his face as he watches aircraft overhead or at Air Shows.

A family member told me of your site and t knew this would be a good start on good gifts for him. Am saving it for Christmas but honestly would love to give it to him now. Thank you again.

Perfect! This was a gift for our son and Tailwinds was prompt, quality, and no surprises. I'll keep you in mind for future aviation gifts! Thanks again.

I am very pleased with the quality of this product , definitely a keepsake .

I have been purchasing this item for my first solo students for a long time and am never disappointed.

What a great way to remember such an important day!

It was a pleasure working with Tailwinds. I even received a phone call within first 24 hours of the order to get an item line confirmed before they started the plaque. Which was great they just did not process the order and send it out like I ordered it. Very pleasant and excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend the company and purchase future items from them.

I had honestly never heard of this company or this item. I found it while searching for a gift to commemorate my husband's first solo. Ordering was easy. I just forwarded all the questions to my hubby's flight instructor so I made sure I had all the right info. The plaque is so much better than I expected. It is a nice thick piece of wood with a great beveled edge. The brass part is nice and not too shiny. The picture is perfect and the font is easy to read. He really loved this unique item. Thanks so much

The service was very prompt and the plaque looked great.

Looks great and of good quality

My son just soloed and this plaque was beautiful. It is a keepsake. The customer serivice at Tailwinds is the best and the quality of the plaque is great! I would highly recommend this company!

A little about the plaque, it's a very firm well constructed plaque, the detail on it is amazing. If you're looking to buy this to celebrate your or someone else's first solo flight then you'll find out real quick this is the best commemorative plaque on the market. I searched the internet high and low and nothing came close to what I was looking for, that is until I found this plaque and I couldn't be any happier. I plan to buy from Tailwinds again when I finish earning my Private pilot.

I was looking for something & "cool" to commemorate my son's first solo flight. A pilot friend recommended this and said he can remember that flight like it was yesterday. I liked the idea of a plaque honoring the accomplishment and knowing my son will remember that moment anytime he looks at my gift.

I bought this plaque as a gift to give to my son on his birthday and opened it up to check it out. Nicely engraved. Description matches what they say. Buy it and it's worth the money.

Many years ago your catalog was my go to place for aviation gifts for my husband. This was my first online purchase with Tailwinds.
The plaque will be a wonderful reminder of his first solo flight. He recently sold his beloved Cessna 150. So this will have pride of place in the living room.

This was a great gift, and it got here safely.

Our grandson is graduating from high school this spring and thought this would be a nice addition to his gift. He will be going to school to become a commercial pilot. When we saw this we knew it would be perfect. They did a beautiful job and we could not be more pleased. Highly recommended!!

I looked at several & "First Solo" plaques available; this one was the best-looking one by far! I got one for my 16 yr. old daughter who soloed June 10, 2012, and later got another one for my first solo on Dec.31, 2012! The plaques look great on the wall!

We got this very nice plaque for our son's Christmas gift to commemorate his first solo. After opening his gifts, he hurried upstairs to share his excitement over this keepsake with his Facebook friends, posting: & I quote "I sure won't ever forget this gift as long as I live."

Ordering was very easy. The plaque was very nice and arrived on time for Christmas. My son was thrilled with it!

As my daughter flies her way to her chosen career, she will always have something to remind her of her humble beginnings. A great piece of personal memorabilia that will be displayed with pride. Thank you TAILWIND
