We are a no-markup club, which means we keep the fees as low as possible to promote affordability in aviation. Our member fees cover the overhead costs of hangars and other club necessities. The dry rates have $0 club markup meaning 100% of the dry tach rate goes directly into maintenance and upkeep of the planes. We are firmly integrated in the North Texas Aviators community and you’ll see our members participating in various aviation events in the club planes. We love to fly and we want to share our passion for aviation with others!
