“I am excited about the prospect of starting a flying club. I have always wanted to belong to an organization with the camaraderie of others who are like-minded about flying. I don’t know why it had to be, but one of the main tenets of a club, in my mind, is to have the kind of people with the eternal flame in their hearts for flying, so as not to let it be extinguished. The core of any flying club should consist of member’s with that flame.

I began this effort in 2009. I gave this club the name “aerovalley” to honor the legacy of the little airport the great edna gardner whyte built. She built this place without help from banks, selling about everything she had and borrowing from friends and giving her own blood, sweat and tears to the effort.

It is my desire to watch this club grow and flourish while i am here and beyond my time. I believe that we as a club can maintain the enthusiasm for flying and promote the value of general aviation to others through our club activities and by our example bring others into the world of aviation and inspire new pilots.
Thanks for looking us up!”
