July 4th Breakfast is Coming!

It's never to early to think about our July4th - Fly-in / Drive-in Breakfast!

The Penn Yan Flying Club served over 2600 breakfasts at its annual 4th of July Fly-in / Drive-in breakfast in 2012 and we are hoping for the same or better this year.

Besides good food, there will be music,  airplane and helicopter rides. If you've never been to our breakfast, join us and make it your annual July 4th tradition!

Freedom from the Hobbs-meter

Flight time on our aircraft is tach time, not Hobbs time as at most FBOs. That means that practicing touch-and-gos is downright inexpensive, and holding short of the runway for extended periods is almost free! And because the Penn Yan Flying Club is a non-profit organization, our hourly rates will make you smile - $51/hr for a J-3 Cub, $73/hr for a Cessna 150, $91/hr for the Cessna 172 or Piper PA-180 and $172/hr for the Cirrus. The hourly rate includes fuel and oil. (Compare our rates with those at any local flight school or FBO!)

No Hassle with Daily Minimums

If you've ever refrained from taking a week-long flying trip because you wouldn't be able to cover the rental hour minimums during that week at another establishment, the Penn Yan Flying Club is for you! We have no daily minimums, so go ahead and take that week-long trip!

Convenient Scheduling and Billing

Our airplanes are based on the northwest side of the Penn Yan Airport. You can schedule airplanes 24 hours a day on our convenient, password-protected reservation web site. When you come to the airport to fly, there's no need to bring your checkbook --- we'll send you a bill every month and charge your credit card directly. And when you buy fuel or oil at another airport, just send in the receipt with your monthly payment and we'll credit your account at our current re-imbursement price.

Low Initiation Fee

Our Active Member (flying member) initiation fee is now: Only $300!

This is now the lowest initiation fee for a flying club in the area. Just another way we make it worth the trip!
