Wing View Tint

Wing View Tint is a company that makes window tint and sun shades for aircraft. It sells them to pilots and passengers who want shade and sun relief in the cockpit and cabin. The site says the tint is made in the USA. The brand grew out of an earlier line called Plane Tint, started by a window tinter who also learned to fly.

The main product on the site is the Slap Shade. It is a panel that sticks to an aircraft window with micro suction cup tape. There is no glue, so nothing is left on the window when the panel is peeled off. The panels roll up for storage, and a storage bag is included. Each one measures 10 by 15 inches and comes in gray.

Two types are offered. The tinted shade gives 99 percent UVA and UVB protection and lets the user see through it. The 100 percent block shade is not see through. The company says the shades suit airline pilots, passengers who want to nap on a long flight, and children who want to see a tablet screen without glare.

The About page tells the owner's story. He ran a car stereo shop, then a custom car shop, then a window tinting business called Tint MD. A discovery flight led him to take flying lessons, and he bought a 1975 Beechcraft Sundowner. Flying a low wing plane with a newborn child showed him how strong the sun can be in the cockpit, so he designed and built his own tint options. The page ends with the names of the founder and two family members.

The website works as an online shop where customers can add products to a cart. It also has a contact form for questions and custom orders, and it says a phone call can be requested by sending a message.
