If you don't mind assembling and painting yourself, then you can get most of the Aces High aircraft from the Airfix and Heller collections.  Airfix used to produce "Special Edition" 1/72 kits for Pips Priller, Adolph Galland, William McCampbell, and Roger Hedrick's aircraft.  I know Hasagawa makes kits for George Preddy's P-51D and Thomas Maguire's P-38.  Heller carries a Hellcat kit and Wildcat kit to matches the ones in Aces High.

I'd buy the obvious: a set of silver pilot's wings, but whereas some wings have specialty markings (a balloon to indicate a balloon pilot, for example), I'd like to see a set of silver wings with either a PC monitor and keyboard, or a joystick on them, or even just the Aces High logo suitable for pinning on a leather flight jacket.

AH pilot's wings and pint glasses... I'd buy those for sure.  While pilot's wings would be cool, pint glasses would be a necessity.

These are all good suggestions.

For people in my neck of the woods I would also like to see a AH gunrack for my pick-em-up truck, a nice chrome or silver AH spitoon, a pair of Justin (TM) cowboy boots with the AH logo, and AH longsleeve western shirts. :)

Seriously, I too like the idea of the 1/72nd scale models and coffee mugs.

Gatso - I can hold about 8 pints. Many more, and I start to develop a strong affinity for the ground. ;)

Tamiya makes a F4U-1D Corsair in 1/48 with the AH paint scheme.  Here's a link: http://www.ehobbies.com/mo-tam-60752.html

The description says its 1/72 but I believe that's an error.  Its actually 1/48 scale.

Yeah, thats about my limit on a Friday night type scenario. Usually limit myself to 3 or so on weeknights, Beer glass/mug seems like a popular idea doesn't it. I wonder why? ;)

I can eat 14 Wheetabix though :p :D

I really like gofasters idea of a pin badge or set of wings too. Shows your support without being overtly 'in your face' like the T-shirt is. (I'm still coming to terms with my dweeb status :D, I don't like to advertise too much) ) Something like this in chrome, maybe a limited edition silver/gold plated one could be made for winning a future competition?

Gatso

(something like this maybe?)

I love the pint mug idea, etched or silk screened, they would used with pride, and shared with few.
