Those prices look attractive. The only prices I have seen recently in
that ball-park also need a monthly or yearly membership fee.
Is that the case at your club? How much?


Oops... Forgot about that part. $80 a month but if you pay yer
membership before the 15th, $20 of that gets applied toward 'flight
credits' so it works out to $60 a month. Still a hell of a deal.

Where is it?


The 'Sleeping Giant Flying Club' in Helena, Montana.



Even so, at 70 hrs/yr usage, that places a C-150 at $46 /hr.
As good as my numbers. That's a well-run operation.
Has it been running long?
