How Dare To Fly Started

|
Dare to Fly launched in 2015 with the now-iconic “Chicks Fly” t-shirt created for the The Ninety-Nines to support aviation scholarships. The design quickly gained international attention, inspiring the creation of a full collection of aviation-inspired apparel and accessories. Today, Dare to Fly represents a unique blend of aviation, style, and modern design, offering shirts, hats, and accessories that allow pilots and aviation enthusiasts to express their passion for flight. The brand celebrates the spirit of flying and the sense of freedom, confidence, and adventure that aviation brings. In November 2024, Banyan Pilot Shop acquired the Dare to Fly brand, expanding its commitment to offering distinctive aviation apparel and lifestyle products. The Dare to Fly collection continues to be available online at DareToFlyFashion.com, as well as in-store and online through Banyan Pilot Shop and select aviation retailers. In keeping with the brand’s mission to support the aviation community, a portion of proceeds helps fund aviation scholarships. |

For more than 40 years, Banyan Pilot Shop has been a premier destination for pilot supplies, aviation electronics, and gear trusted by both general aviation and professional pilots. What makes Banyan Pilot Shop truly special is the experience. Unlike typical online stores, visitors can explore thousands of aviation products in person—touching, trying, and comparing items while connecting with a team that shares a genuine passion for aviation. Many of the staff members are licensed pilots themselves, bringing real-world knowledge that helps customers find exactly what they need for the cockpit and beyond. The shop’s buyers work closely with the team and listen to customer feedback to curate a constantly evolving selection of aviation gear, apparel, accessories, and unique finds—many of which are difficult to discover anywhere else. It’s a place where aviation enthusiasts can explore, learn, and walk out with their favorite items the very same day. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet, Banyan Pilot Shop is often described as an aviation superstore, offering one of the largest selections of pilot supplies in the world. The experience is unforgettable—from the massive selection of aviation gear to the iconic Gulfstream fuselage displayed right in the middle of the store. Located on the flight line at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, 5320 NW 20th Terr Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309, the shop has become a must-visit destination for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and travelers passing through South Florida. Whether you're searching for essential cockpit gear, aviation apparel, or unique aviation gifts, Banyan Pilot Shop delivers the selection, expertise, and service that keep pilots coming back for years. |
