- Private Pilot Ground School (in person) — date TBD
- Commercial Pilot Ground School (in person) — date TBD
- Private Pilot Ground School (online) — available 24/7
- Commercial Pilot Ground School (online) — available 24/7

If you want a course rather than a physical item, compare the store listing with the Training Opportunities section, since in-person dates may be listed as TBD while online options are described as available at any time.
How to Buy
- Go to the AAAA online store section of hotairballooning.org.
- Pick a category (for example, BOOKS or PINS) or click a featured item.
- Open the item's "Read more" page to see its details.
- Complete the purchase from that product page.
The store page itself does not state which payment methods are accepted, so confirm that on the product or checkout page.
What to Check Before Buying
- Confirm the current price on the product page; the figures above are as shown on the store listing.
- For courses, check whether the format is in person or online, and whether a date is set or still TBD.
- For event pins and similar items, availability may be tied to a specific year or event.
If you are looking for something specific, start with the category closest to it — books and instructor materials under BOOKS, crew and pilot gear under CREW STUFF and PILOT STUFF, and training under SEMINARS / COURSES.
