Since 1974, Ponderosa Aero Club has offered our members top-notch aircraft, an excellent safety record, thorough aviation education, and close-knit camaraderie. Whether you already hold a pilot's license, you're starting your flight training from scratch, or you're somewhere in between, I would love to talk to you about membership.
