About the Club

A close-knit group of safety-conscious pilots sharing one exceptionally well-kept airplane at Arlington Municipal Airport.

Who We Are

The Arlington Flyers Club is an equity flying club built around "Reese", our pampered Cessna 172N. Membership is a 1/10 ownership share — so members are true owners, not renters.

We're a great group of safety-conscious, experienced pilots who keep our airplane in top condition and make it easy to fly through online scheduling, billing, and logging. By sharing the costs of ownership, every member enjoys a modern, capable IFR airplane for far less than going it alone.

"Reese" — Our 172N

A 1977 Cessna 172N Skyhawk II registered N172HR, Reese has been carefully maintained and significantly upgraded — including a $30,000 modern IFR avionics panel installed in 2023.

From the Powerflow exhaust and STOL cuff to the app-controlled engine pre-heater, she's set up to be safe, capable, and ready to go year-round.
