Something New for the Flying Community

Aviation Supplies at the Palo Alto Airport will donate $2.25 from every Aviator’s Pilot Tote sold to help feed the hungry. Buy one today at the store or online at www.bobsaviationsupplies.com. (Photo courtesy Aviation Supplies)Aviation Supplies, operating out of the City of Palo Alto, Calif., Airport is owned and operated by Bob Walls who has thought of a system whereby he, along with his customers, and aviators throughout this great nation can be of help in feeding malnourished people. Bob has invested in having made what he has called the “Aviator’s Pilot Tote.” It’s made of an extremely versatile vegetable fiber known for its strength and durability. Jute fiber is 100 percent bio-degradable, reusable, renewable, safe to dispose in landfill, recyclable and thus environmentally friendly.

On the other hand, the plastic totes that are given to us by the food industry are made of petroleum-based material and do not decompose. We find them flying around on our freeways, clinging to fences along America’s roadways and floating in our beautiful rivers and oceans. Jute is the answer in helping to clean our home – planet Earth!

The Aviator’s Pilot Tote measures 17-inches wide by 18-inches high, has twin handles and is printed on both sides (in green) with the words “Aviator’s Pilot Tote.” It can handle a 28-pound load.

Fly in or drive in to Aviation Supplies, or visit www.bobsaviationsupplies.com to purchase an Aviator’s Pilot Tote for $4.95 and Aviation Supplies will donate $2.25 of the purchase toward feeding malnourished people.
