| An affordable option for Flying in the Colorado Rockies | The Glenwood Flying Club is a great option to consider if you're looking for an opportunity to learn to fly in the central Colorado Rockies. I recently joined this club, and have been delighted with the aircraft, and the flexibility the club provides.
Essentially, the club currently has 20 members and 2 aircraft. Both aircraft are Cherokee 235's. The aircraft are well cared for, and given the small number of users they are readily available. Buying into this club (a 1/20th share) is less than $3000, and once you are a member you operate the aircraft for cost (roughly $130/hour fuel included).
As I've recently become a member, I am available to instruct in the club aircraft. If you want any information on the club, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.
If your goal is to learn to fly, and you're in the Glenwood Springs area then there are a couple great affordable options. The flying club is one, the second option is taking the short drive to Eagle to rent the Alpine Flight Training DA-20 Katana Eclipse. If your goal is specifically to get your license, using the Katana Rental can save you about $1500 over the cost of joining the club and learning to fly through the club.
