Dinner Flyouts
Each month between March and October we all get together on the third Saturday to fly to dinner. This is a great opportunity to explore new airports, to get more cross-country time for a rating, and to enjoy the company of fellow pilots and their friends and family in a relaxed setting!

Destination Flyouts
Each year we also have a number of longer "destination" trips. These are perfect ways to get with an instructor to finish up that instrument rating. They also make great vacations! Start planning early, and get that plane (and instructor, if you're looking to turn it into a learning experience) booked! Let the front desk know if you're interested in any of those so we can plan appropriately!
2009 Trips
- June 11 - 14th (Thu - Sun): the flyin at Gaston's White River Resort (3M0, 381NM SW) (Make your hotel reservations soon! If they're sold out, don't panic, there are enough pilots there that we'll find you a room!) People start showing up for this as early as Wednesday, so feel free to extend it! UPDATED

If there's enough interest, there's always the possibility of doing the trip in the King Air!
