Flying Clubs

 

Flying clubs play an important role in general aviation.  Many pilots may begin by flying and renting aircraft from a local FBO or flight school, but eventually want better access to aircraft at lower prices.  For some, individual aircraft ownership is the answer, but others can't justify the cost.  That's where flying clubs come in. 

 

Flying clubs offer pilots of all levels the opportunity to fly quality aircraft at reasonable prices.  Many club members also enjoy the social aspect of a club.  Clubs give you the opportunity to meet and associate with other pilots.  This can be a great way to learn more about aviation and improve your skills.  Flying clubs also help to support local airports, because they are big users of aviation fuel, maintenance services and pilot supplies.

 

As an active member and flight instructor in two flying clubs, I understand how they help to meet the needs of pilots and students.  Below is a brief description of the two clubs.  They are each a little different, so if you are interested, check out their websites.  If you'd like more information or have specific questions, please contact me.

Yankee Flying Club at Minneapolis Crystal airport (MIC) is an "equity" club (all members are equal owners of the aircraft) currently offering four aircraft: two Cessna 172's, a Cessna 182RG and a Cirrus SR20.  For more information, visit the Yankee Flying Club website.

The Honeywell Flying Club is a "leaseback" club where club aircraft are leased by the club from current club member/owners for the benefit of all club members.  The Honeywell Flying Club currently operates one Cessna 172 at Minneapolis Crystal airport (MIC).  Please contact me directly for  more information.
