VARS Flying Club

VARS (Valley Aircraft Restoration Society) began in 1989 as volunteers restoring helicopters for static display and became a flying club in the late 1990s. Today it flies a four-seat, IFR-equipped 1972 Piper Cherokee 235 kept in a locked hangar at Falcon Field.

The airplane flies only 70 to 90 hours a year, so availability is high.

Every member contributes something: board service, washing the plane, helping with maintenance under an A&P, or buying supplies.

Notes
