Club Summary
- Established in 1958. That makes us the oldest
flying club in the Upper Midwest and one of the oldest flying clubs in
the country.
- Excellent safety record.
- Well-maintained and well equipped aircraft.
Club Aircraft
- Two Cessna 172s

All aircraft are insured for liability and hull. Hulls
have a $500 deductible payable by the responsible club member.
Monthly Business and Safety Meeting
The club meets the second Wednesday of the month to review the
operation of the club, discuss issues affecting the club, and discuss
safety issues. Attendence at this meeting is strongly encouraged.
Prospective members are encouraged to attend as well.
During the winter months when the hangars are cold the meetings are
held at Zumbro
Lutheran Church, 624 Third Ave SW, Rochester, MN. The meeting
starts at 7:00PM and goes for about an hour.
During the summer months the meetings are held at the club hangars at
the Rochester Airport. At 6:00PM we wash the airplanes, and
at 7:00PM the meeting and eating starts. (You can't wash
airplanes and not be hungry!)
Aircraft Scheduling
- Use the aircraft as your own. We charge tach
time
(dry) so you only pay for the flying time you actually use.
There are no miminum charges for using an aircraft.
- Aircraft scheduling is done by web page or touch-tone
telephone. Scheduling can be done from nearly anywhere at any time of
the day or night.
- The exact rules for scheduling (including
restrictions) can
be found in the formal bylaws document.
