A coaster that senses the amount of drink remaining in your glass and moves the needle of the altimeter accordingly. And when time has come to pour another one, a metallic voice would announce "minimums". You know what would be cool?

Always a winner with pilots obviously. I still have some of them at home (in the "classic" shape) as well as a beer glass with an artificial horizon showing blue at the bottom and the words "pilots do it inverted". Classy. I think most pilot shops will carry these, along with the (in)famous "remove before flight" girls tops, which I noticed you failed to mention :-) Over at skykeek.com I found <a href="http://www.skygeek.com/j9k-176.html" rel="nofollow">a license plate frame</a> that reads "my other car is an airplane" while <a href="http://www.skygeek.com/50-89-5020.html" rel="nofollow">another one</a> reads "lady pilots don't stall around".
