Our Plane

AFFORDABLE Flying - 2022

The Ukrainiane crisis has temporarily impacted fuel and costs.

No daily minimum flight time.

$117.00 per TACH hour "wet".  (Temp $132/hr)

$112.32 per month dues.

Our yearly [flight time + dues] "break even" point compared to local FBO rates is as follows:

    11 hours in a Piper Arrow III

    15 hours in a Cessna 172SP

    20 hours in a Piper Archer III

If you fly at least 20 hours a year, we are the best choice.

FLYING MAGAZINE rated the Grumman Tiger as one of five underrated stars in its January 2015 issue.

"At 135 knots, it's a good performer, almost 10 percent faster than the competition with about the same fuel burn. It is a great cross-country airplane for a pilot with a small family, as it has plenty of room for young kids, great visibility thanks to the big glass sliding canopy, and a decent payload".
Our Tiger has flown to the Bahamas; Key West, FL;  Oshkosh, WI;

Bangor, ME & Toronto, Canada.

Over the past 15 years we have continually made upgrades and improvements commensurate with our passion for flying and safety. 

We take great pride in all we do.

For a Flying Club airplane, our Tiger is best in the world.
