We host a wide range of events throughout the year, from guest speakers, to aerial treasure hunts, fly outs, fly ins, summer hog roast, trips, BBQs, fish & chips, you name it, if we can put an aviation slant on it, we will do it! Students can learn from more experienced pilots, more experienced pilots can learn from students and enthusiasts can enjoy being closer to the aviation world.
