St. Augustine Flight Club

Vision: To create an organization that provides its members with multiple aircraft at the lowest possible rental rates with a broad range of capabilities from 2-seat trainers to high performance and complex aircraft.

The club aircraft could be used for business and pleasure flying, daytrips, extended cross-country flights, etc. The concept for the club would be one of an open membership policy, minimal initial investment and low monthly dues.

It's important to know who our potential members might be and what interest level they have. Please take a moment to tell us a little about your preferences in airplanes and your general aviation flying.

Please complete this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z9CZ8VG

After you have done so (the survey is open through the end of January), feel free to discuss the topic on this thread.
