Membership has its advantages

Joining an aircraft club can very often enable a set of opportunites not open to those that do not choose to own their own aircraft. The reality is, owing and operating an aircraft carries many fixed and variable expenses. In most cases joining a club will enable you to share the fixed costs of owning a plane with others, and an affordable hourly rate to fly a plane. In many cases a club may cost as much as ½ the cost on an hourly basis vs. renting.
