Terrain:

100's of Basalt Coulees, Turnbull Wildlife Refuge, 5 large lakes & the Bitteroot Mountains. To the East, you'll find Lake Coeur d Alene, St. Joe River, Lake Pend Oreille & the Montana border.


Basically, 10 minutes in any direction and you have completely different terrain... Winter only adds to the fun when we swap our rubber tires for aircraft snowskis... Let your imagination run...


To the West, you can cruise out to Lake Roosevelt, land at Seven Bays for Breakfast or Golf, or even skim the beaches of the Columbia River all the way to Canada.


Blast off to the South & you'll explore what we might consider some of the area's greatest low-flying terrain including the Palouse Hills...

Other Hobbies:

Sometimes the weather sucks but it's still a fun place to go. You're welcome to 'run-what-you-brung' as long as you keep it safe for other people & semi-safe for yourself. Please be responsible for riding it, flying it, falling off of it, crashing into it, smashing through it, jumping over it, or the like... Someone will be happy to get it all on camera for you... Dogs & Horses are welcome if they are sedated and will stay out of propellers...

People who ARE welcome:

Our best students, clients & day-trippers always arrive with a unique personality, common sense, work ethic, and see they money they spend as an investment in the club, facility & team. Life long friendships with these individuals are created as well as team pilots for all our excursions. Each of the 40+ members of this club have contributed to the building of this team & facility. Whether we're on a cross-country excursion or just tuning equipment, our knowledge & efforts as a team are essential to a successful adventure as well as all-night partying... No matter how many hours we've flown, we all have much to learn from each other so we highly recommend that you show up with this in mind. Friends & family are always welcome but are required to respect the facility, aircraft & privacy of other pilots.

People who are NOT welcome:

This is the most unique & rewarding affiliation in the world. Though it is worth every dime, and regardless of how you pitch it to your wife or banker, we all know it's frivolous & expensive. Don't put yourseft in a position to be frustrated with us because you weren't realistic with the powers that be... We have absolutely no time nor tolerance for those who are ignorant, impatient, unsafe, defacing of our sport, or simply affect our sanity. Don't wheel & deal! Our prices are fair and are tailored to pay for what we offer you. Every dollar you pay goes back into the club & the facility to benefit you. The only people who get good deals are the ones who don't ask. Tight-wads, bitchers, lazy-asses and incompetent people will be better served by our competition.
