MEMBER STORIES
Built in the hangar. Shared in the sky.
Every member arrives with a different dream. Here's how a few of them turned theirs into wings, with a little help from the club.
"I'd never held a rivet gun before joining. Three years of Saturday build sessions later, my first flight in an aircraft I built myself was the proudest moment of my life."

"Flying with the club means always having someone to share a sunrise flight or a cross-country adventure with. The friendships are as good as the views."
The Weekend Flyer

"Restoring a classic taildragger taught me patience. Passing that know-how on to newer members is what keeps me coming back every week."
