I would add earplugs to the list. Unlike Crispy, I'm a pilot shop junkie, so
I *would* stop and browse, possibly for a long time. Usually I buy things
like books, hats, magazine, and such. Oh yeah, and license plates ("My other
car is an airplane..."). Rarely expensive stuff. Not sure I've seen a pilot
shop that carries snacks and drinks, but I suspect lots of people would buy
those.
One thing I've never seen in an airport pilot shop that I think would be a
cool idea: postcards (especially if they show the airport) and stamps.
Since I don't have custody of my kids, when I'm flying somewhere (other
than when I fly up to visit them) I like to send them a postcard from the
destination. Usually I end up borrowing the FBO's crew car to go into
town to buy a postcard.
