About the Flying 20 Club

The club is run (subject to the full membership) by an executive board composed primarily of the club officers and the primary flight officers, all of whom are club members themselves. The flight officers ensure that the aircraft are maintained properly and are available to members. Initial checkouts in the club aircraft must be conducted by one of the Club approved CFIs. Subsequently, so long as a member is able to act as Pilot In Command, members may utilize any CFI for instruction in club aircraft.

One of the advantages of joining a flying club like ours is the social aspect. Members get to know one another at our monthly meetings and are encouraged to fly together on fun outings. We meet on the second Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. to discuss monthly club business and safety topics. During the summer months (May - October), a Wash 'n Wax BBQ at Reliant Air (driving directions) precedes the meeting to keep our aircraft looking great, after which everyone is invited to dine on freshly grilled food. During the winter months, we meet virtually via Zoom, and also host semi-regular "Hangar Talk" sessions in the Reliant Air lounge to keep our aviation minds sharp.

Pinch Hitter Course

The Flying 20 Club Pinch Hitter Program was established as a result of discussions at the dinner dance by our flying partners, requesting greater involvement. This successful ongoing program  teaches the flying partner (spouse, daughter, son, significant other) to communicate, navigate and land the plane safely should it become necessary. As an outgrowth of discussions we've had at meetings, some of our members have made presentations to the club about topics such as the care and feeding of our Lycoming engines, and how to get the most out of the GPS, and some of these presentations have been archived in the library of our web site.  Also on this list are external sites which members have found to be useful, and instruction manuals for some of the equipment the club has.
