By design, the Deschutes Flying Club does not own the aircraft used by the club, but instead we lease them from aircraft owners. This provides of flexibility as the needs of the members change. As the number of members and their needs fluctuate we can additional aircraft or reduce our numbers to meet the need.
The owner of our Cessna 172, N738MR, and informed us that he would like to sell the aircraft, and his hope is that a group of local pilots will come together and form a new corporation to purchase the aircraft and continue leasing it to the club.
Would you be interested in potentially joining that partnership and becoming an aircraft owner?
If so, please fill out the form below and we will get a meeting on the calendar to discuss all of the details and options, and the club will provide as much guidance as they can on how this new group would form their own corporation or partnership and allow us to keep flying N738MR!
