Welcome!

The Gopher Flying Club was founded in 1987 with a goal to make the exciting hobby of flying more practical and exciting by sharing not only the costs, but the experience with a group of like-minded aviation enthusiasts.

Today, more than 20 years later, the club is as strong as ever. We operate two Cessna 172s that are well equipped and IFR certified. Currently our home base is Crystal Airport, KMIC, in the Minneapolis metro area. Crystal is centrally located and a convenient take off point for Twin Cities metro residents.
