My cousin has a passion for airplanes! He is not really into the latest jet planes or passenger aircrafts. He is more interested in the earlier and rudimentary mechanical aircrafts. His particular obsessions were biplanes and triplanes. He used to fly a biplane himself, actually. I, personally, am terrified to death of even climbing up the tiny and exposed seats with thin wings. I felt much safer encased in glass and steel in sturdy structures. Nevertheless, biplanes are already more common than triplanes, I think. These are also fixed-wing aircrafts but with three separate wings parallel to each other. My cousin says the wingspans are wider and the turns it can make, sharper. While I could not really appreciate all the raving about the glory days of these ancient relics, I was at least happy that his interests were so specific. This made shopping for my graduation gift for him so much easier! He has finally finished his training and is going to join the air force soon. For someone who owns a lot of stuff already and doesn’t really need the money, finding a gift can be very challenging. Cufflinks were a good option, though. I found these whole series of aviation cufflinks online and thought I’d get him a plain plane-shaped one since he was joining the air force. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to chance upon these really unique triplane airplane cufflinks! It’s unique, and represents something he has always loved. Whether he actually uses it or not, I’m sure he’ll keep it with him always!
