Our Story
Arizona Flyers Club was founded in the 1940's by a group of passionate aviators who shared a vision of making recreational flying accessible to the Tucson community. What started as a small group of flying enthusiasts has grown into one of Arizona's most respected flying clubs.
For over eight decades, we've maintained our commitment to safety, education, and the pure joy of flight. Our club has evolved with the times, upgrading our fleet, enhancing our facilities, and embracing new technologies while never losing sight of what makes flying special - the freedom, the challenge, and the incredible community of people who share our passion for aviation.
