Provide accessible and affordable flying to club members within a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for aviation and the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided over 215 tach hours in two aircrafts. Membership ranged from 19-22 members for 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and liabilities are high compared with assets.
