about Us
Chartered as a nonprofit Kentucky corporation in 1954, the Lexington Flying Club, Inc. presently can provide you with access to six airplanes. They are a Cessna 152, three Cessna 172's, a Piper Archer II and a Diamond Star, DA-40.
The club is operated to provide its members with low cost flying, safety training and continuing pilot education. All aircraft are based at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport and are maintained by FAA certified maintenance personnel to assure prompt and qualified service. A Club "Maintenance Officer" is elected for each airplane to assure that any discrepancies reported by Club pilots are quickly corrected. Scheduling of Club airplanes is coordinated through a 24 hour computerized telephone and internet answering service so members are assured of getting immediate status / availability information about the aircraft anytime they wish to fly. You will find that, if you plan to fly two and a half to three hours or more a month, a Club membership is more economical than renting.
The Club has approximately 85 members (approximately 50 active flyers.) Flying experience is not required for membership; in fact, about one fifth of our members are student pilots, taking lessons, and working towards that private pilot certificate.
Ladies, please consider us as well; three of our pilots with wallets full of ratings carry those wallets in their purses!
Although the Club is not a flight school, per se, Club approved instructors are available and have helped many of the Club's pilots obtain private and instrument licenses/ratings. We will be glad to recommend an instructor to you if you don't already have someone in mind.
