Aviation Themed Clock Widgets & Cockpit Live Wallpapers
Aviator Clocks is a phone customization app that contains aviation themed analog clock widgets to place on your home screen. The app also contains cockpit view live wallpapers, with a background sky and heads-up display that roll as your phone rotates. Developed by an ex-flight test engineer (F-16) and an ex-helicopter pilot (UH-1H), this app is really a badge of honor for any serious aviation fan.
The free version comes with 3 airplane clock themes and 3 cockpit live wallpapers. A license key can be purchased which unlocks 10 more clock themes and 5 more cockpit wallpapers to satisfy any pilot.

3) Long press on 'Aviator Clocks' and drop it on your home screen.
4) Resize and center as needed.
Reminders:

2) A long press on the clock face will allow resizing.

WARNING:
For the 'Artificial Horizon' and 'Heads Up Display' clock themes, the hour hand controls the horizon...so don't panic when you find yourself in a tight turn or even inverted at various times during the day. Also, for you chopper pilots, the 'Rotor Tach' clock theme will display a dangerous flying condition for most hours of the day.
Troubleshooting:
Some versions of Android are slow to update their widget list, so you may have to give it a few minutes for Aviator Clocks to show up. If you don't have patience for this, a quick phone reboot should force the list to update (not a very elegant solutions, but it is a failsafe one for the vast array of phones out there).
