About the club
A small club, by design.
Air Tech Flying Club, Inc. is 7 pilots who share ownership of one airplane and a simple belief: a well-flown, well-maintained aircraft is better — and more affordable — when good people share it.
The club was founded in May 1963. More than six decades later, the idea hasn't changed: a small group of pilots, one well-kept airplane, and shared costs that make capable cross-country flying genuinely attainable. Today that airplane is N63PV, a 1994 Piper Saratoga II HP, flown out of KFCI.
Everyone in the club is instrument-rated, and the Saratoga earns its keep on real trips — weekends away, visits to family, the kind of flying a fast six-seat airplane is built for. We keep the roster small so the schedule stays open and the airplane stays well cared for.
How we operate
Equity members co-own N63PV and share the fixed costs. Decisions are made together, maintenance is kept ahead of the airplane, and the schedule is open to all members through our online booking system.
Keeping the roster at 7 is deliberate: it's enough to make ownership affordable, and small enough that the airplane is almost always available and everyone knows everyone.
Home base
KFCI — Richmond Executive – Chesterfield County Airport
We're based in Richmond, Virginia at a friendly, uncongested towered field with good services and easy access. From here, the coast, the mountains, and a long list of $100-hamburger stops are all an easy flight away.
