Schedule a Demo Flight!
TFC provides introductory "demo" flights to anyone interested in flying. For only $59 we'll put you in the left seat with a certified flight instructor and let you fly the airplane. WHAT BETTER WAY TO DECIDE IF FLYING IS FOR YOU? Contact our chief flight instructor or any officer to take advantage of this offer.

Our aircraft flight fees are WET TACH time, which means fuel is included and time is measured on engine use, not wall clock time.  Non-instructional fights have an additional 8.25% sales tax.  More information...

Fuel Reimbursement Rate

$5.29 / gallon

effective as of
11/5/2008

If you refuel an aircraft on a trip and spend less than this on 100LL, we pass the savings on to you!

Membership meetings are held the second Saturday of every month at the McKinney Performing Arts Center at 9:30 AM. Get together for breakfast or coffee before the meeting at Spoons Cafe.  Board meetings are on the preceding Wednesday each month at 6:00 PM.Both are open to the public.
