Aircraft & Facilities

All of our aircraft have Tanis heaters, autopilots, and are IFR equipped.  All members take pride in our planes and care for them accordingly.  After each flight, we wash off the bugs, clean the windows, and straighten out the cabin so the next pilot has a clean plane.  Each plane has been upgraded to a new state-of-the-art Garmin G3x touchscreen glass panel, including GFC 500 autopilot.

Piper Archer II

Our Archer has been updated with the new panel, and is a dream to fly!!!   It provides economical, fun flying.  It’s a great choice for fly-in breakfasts, flying EAA Young Eagles, $100 hamburgers and sight seeing.

She’s also good for cross-country flights and instrument training..
