Several years ago Davis-Monthan had an active Aero Club. We are trying to determine if there is enough interest to make it worthwhile to reactivate the Aero Club.

An on-base Aero Club would be a membership organization run by personnel from Davis-Monthan that would provide general aviation light aircraft that could be rented by pilots and student pilots. It would provide on-base Private Pilot ground school instruction and instructor flight training. It could be used as preparation for D-M personnel to pursue pilot slots in the USAF and for incentive flights for squadron and base award winners. DM Personnel could also Hangar or tie-down their own aircraft on base, with some necessary restrictions.

There is a short survey on the Mission Support group web page to see if there is enough interest for a reactivated Aero Club.
