    Join club or rent

    The monthly dues are $95. I took a closer look at the airplanes that are offered and interestingly several of them are 1980 aircraft. Not sure what it was about that year or just coincidence . The Cessna 172 that I’m currently renting is a 2011 G 1000.

There’s a flying club 20 minutes away at a different airport that charges $2000 to join and then it is $60 dry. I figure 7 gallons per...

    Back in the saddle...with doubts

    To answer some of your questions: I stopped flying shortly after getting my certificate because we had our first child and I couldn't justify flying around Kansas City, spending $200 a pop and going nowhere.

    Rusty Refresher and IFR training

    KOJC, I think you and I talked a couple years ago about getting back into flying. I need to knock the rust off first and then start my ifr training. Due to my job I would like to do it a little more concentrated than my private but I still want to get great training.
