Eagle Air Flying Club has just under 30 active members as of November 2009, we are actively seeking additional members to grow the club currently. An average ratio of 15 members per airplane is what we strive to maintain.
Eagle Air is actively seeking new membership, this would allow us to acquire a third aircraft for our fleet. At this point we are not certain what manufacturer or model of airplane we would purchase and will leave that to our active membership. Our membership feels at this point purchasing an aircraft to be used more for cross country trips would be beneficial for those that wish to carry a little more or travel a little faster then our current aircraft.
As of November 2009 we have two Cherokee 140 aircraft, one of them is being considered to be replaced with a Cessna 172, no specific model has been selected but IFR certification is desired. We are looking at insurance options that would allow us to do a lease back arrangement or possibly obtain an experimental airplane like an RV7 or Sonex.
Please read our club by-laws, club rules, and when you are ready to join our application is availablehere, at anytime feel free to contact our club officers with any questions and also check the events calendar for upcoming meetings we encourage you to attend.
