A & M Aviation -- Flying Club Events & Flyouts

Club Dinner Flyouts

We have a tradition of having a number of flying events each year. This allows you to stay current, make acquaintances with other club members, and find interesting places to go. Note that these are not restricted to club members. You are encouraged to bring family and friends with. Just remember to take the weight & balance into account! We have a mixture of dinner flyouts and destination flyout events.

Students, you may want to take one of these trips with your instructor in order to get some cross-country time. Or consider using these trips as an excuse to get instruction in a larger, faster aircraft; perhaps a twin!

Dinner Flyouts

Each month between March and October we all get together on the third Saturday to fly to dinner. This is a great opportunity to explore new airports, to get more cross-country time for a rating, and to enjoy the company of fellow pilots and their friends and family in a relaxed setting! If you are interested in coming or have ideas on where to go, sign up for the Flyouts Mailing List and participate in the discussion.

The 2010 Season!

We are starting to have discussions about where to go for the 2010 flyout season! Sign up for the Mailing List and provide your input now, and be notified first when destinations are chosen!

Trip Reports and Photographs from flyouts

August 15: Frontier at Lake Lawn Resort, Delevan, WI (C59, 60NM NNW)

It was an intimate gathering. We enjoyed a wonderful prime rib buffet with country fried chicken, seafood salad, fried shrimp, salmon, and other delicious food! We even made it back to Clow within an hour of sunset!

May 16: Rick's Cafe & Boatyard at Eagle Creek (Indianapolis) IN (KEYE, 140NM SE)

Looking for a trip report from someone for these trips!

March 21: Steakfire at Watertown (KRYV, 92NM NNW)

Our inaugural flyout for the 2009 season was to Steakfire in Watertown. It is a perennial favorite! We had seventeen people in seven planes go this time, ranging from Jim in the 152 to Al and a couple of pilots regaining currency in the 210. We enjoyed the $17 steak dinners, and many people took advantage of the wonderful weather to work on their night currency. After the event, there were three airplanes in the pattern at Watertown doing just that.
