A Legacy Built for Pilots

Founded by Larry and Earlette Shults, Addison Pilot Shop has served the aviation community for decades with trusted products, personal service, and a deep understanding of what pilots actually need. Today, under the ownership of Brenda Shults-Umfleet, that legacy continues with the same commitment to quality, integrity, and care.

What You’ll Find at Addison Pilot Shop

What We Offer

Today, Addison Pilot Shop provides a wide range of aviation products, including pilot supplies, training materials for flight schools and instructors, aircraft care products, and a carefully curated selection of aviation gear, books, and gifts.

The shop supports a broad range of aviation professionals, including medical and life flight operations and local law enforcement aviation units. As an authorized Bose Aviation dealer in Texas, Addison Pilot Shop remains committed to offering trusted products without unnecessary upselling—prioritizing what pilots truly need.

Customers often describe the shop as “the pilot’s version of Toys R Us”—a place where both seasoned aviators and students can find exactly what they’re looking for while enjoying the experience of being surrounded by aviation.

  • While many retailers have moved online, Addison Pilot Shop has intentionally remained focused on in-person service. Aviation products often need to be seen, handled, and understood in real-world context to ensure the right fit for each pilot’s needs.

    That hands-on experience is part of what has kept customers coming back for decades.

  • Aviation is more than flight—it’s service. Addison Pilot Shop is proud to be part of a broader aviation community that supports pilots not only in their work, but in their willingness to serve others in times of need.

    We are honored to serve those who serve others.

  • Addison Pilot Shop serves a wide range of customers across the aviation industry, from those just beginning their journey to experienced professionals operating in demanding environments.

    We regularly support:

    • Student Pilots
      Providing essential training materials, curriculum support, and foundational gear needed to begin and progress through flight training.

    • Flight Instructors & Flight Schools
      Supplying curriculum resources, training tools, and dependable equipment to support instruction at every level.

    • Professional Pilots
      Offering trusted gear, cockpit essentials, and products suited for real-world flight conditions.

    • Aircraft Owners & Aviation Enthusiasts
      Carrying aircraft care products, detailing supplies, and specialty aviation items.

    • Medical & Life Flight Operations
      Supporting teams that rely on dependable equipment in critical situations.

    • Law Enforcement Aviation Units
      Including long-standing connections within local aviation operations.

    • The Global Aviation Community
      With customers and relationships extending beyond Texas to locations such as London, France, Switzerland, and Nairobi.

Customers often describe Addison Pilot Shop as “the pilot’s version of Toys R Us” because it is more than a place to buy supplies. It is a space built for aviation people—where discovery, experience, and practical knowledge come together.

That is what has kept customers coming back for decades.

More Than a Store

4.8 stars by 80 customers

What a great store. Everything you need for aviation. Multiple different versions of E6Bs. Every aviation manual you could think of. You need different color epaulets? They've got 'em. Super friendly service to boot. They even had the Flying Eyes frames I came in for. Definitely check this place out!

This is a great location to buy products to detail your aircraft. The owner is very informative, and was extremely sweet to my 3 girls in the shop providing them with free coloring books. They were so excited!! We purchased only products that were needed due to the experience of the owner, will definitely be back!!!

I fell in love with that place, the people are so nice and so helpful. Made my visit into Dallas trouble free didn't have much time so they prepare everything for me before I arrived and when I get into the shop I got welcomed by these 2 wonderful ladies and got my things and then left back. This is service, this is GREAT SERVICE. Will definitely come back to this place in the future

Amazing store, great inventory, affordable prices. The lady with cowboy hat, that works there is very knowledgeable and helpful. If you are a pilot and have kids, you will find hilarious items for your children. I highly recommend this store.
