We currently have membership shares available for purchase. These are purchased directly from the selling member but we've pulled together this information sheet to help acquaint you with the club and answer some common questions. If you are interested and meet the basic criteria explained below, feel free to contact us by e-mail at info@cascadeflyers.com or by phone at 425-939-8505 (select option 0) and we'll put you in touch with the selling members!

About us:
We're a club of 30 members who own two Cessna aircraft hangared at PAE (Paine Field in Everett, WA). We've been in existence since the early 1950s and are comprised of pilots from ATPs down to private VFR pilots. There is very good access to our aircraft (you can see the aircraft schedule on our website to get an idea of what the current signups look like). Both aircraft are IFR equipped and have recent engine overhauls. Picutres of the aircraft can also be found at our website.

General Rules:
Our bylaws require that pilots have a minimum of 200 hours to be considered for membership although an exception can be made if the pilot is instrument rated. Our flight regulations are fairly standard but not terribly constraining. Landing only at charted private or public airstrips (paved or not); an aircraft taken for more than 24 hours gets charged for 1 hour per day unless there are extenuating circumstances (e.g. rain); Signups are limited between May and September to 3 future signups including: 1 at a maximum of 14 days and 2 more at a maximum of 7 days. You can request exceptions to these rules from the board.

Rates and Dues:
Our current monthly dues are set to cover all fixed expenses such as hangar rent, insurance (on which you would be covered), annuals, etc. The hourly charges are "wet" (fuel included), Tach time rates. Note that Tach time is often about 10% less than Hobbes time (what is usually charged at FBOs) and we have no additional tax charged because, as a member, you own the aircraft. The current monthly dues and flying rates are posted on our main web page.

Joining:
If you are interested, please contact us by e-mail at info@cascadeflyers.com or by phone at 425-939-8505. We can provide additional information including the application procedure and copies of our club Bylaws and Regulations. Membership shares are usually purchased from individuals in the club at a price set by the selling member. You will need to attend a board meeting to meet with the board and be introduced to members prior to joining. You should bring your log book and application with you to this meeting. This is an additional opportunity to ask questions of the membership and for the club and you to learn more about each other.
