Regular Membership
Regular members have full membership in the club, may vote on club matters at general meetings and may use any of the aircraft with an appropriate checkout.Dues for regular members are $80 per month. Regular members are required to purchase a share in the club at $2500, which may be sold back to the club at the termination of membership.
Note: The club will purchase your share at face value, sans interest.
The purpose of the share purchase is two-fold. First, the club owns four aircraft. Purchasing a share in the club makes each member an owner operator. Second, the funds capitalize the club for the purchase of aircraft and equipment as needed.
