New Flying Club - Piasa Flyers

There is also a new flying club called "Piasa Flyers" that still has a couple of openings. If you've always wanted to fly or you're an experienced pilot and it doesn't make sense to own your own plane, maybe club ownership is for you. You can take your ground school and your flight training at the same time. With an initial membership investment of $3,000 and $35 a month, you will be one of 25 owners who will have access to the plane.

This month's Piasa Flyers Aero Club meeting is Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023, at the St. Louis Regional Airport at 7 p.m. in the Airport Managers Building just south of the tower. The club meets on the second Wednesday of each month.
