I really don't know that much. I don't need to.

I believe that the club is about 10 years old. The ten guys found a farm lease. Essentially, they lease the land. The runway and pit area and parking are only a few acres. The rest is sub-leased to a farmer. He is cool and we only fly over our land.

I'm not sure about the membership count. 40, maybe. But I never see more than a handful at a time.

Dues are $100 per year and I beleive an extra $25 for the first year.

Like I said, I have no idea if the "ten" argue about stuff or are all of one mind. As a member I hear "NO" politics at all!

It is great. The "owners" are all cool guys and I enjoy flying with all of them. I don't even know exactly who the ten are or for that matter if there are still ten.

I think that the fact that ten guys where motivated enough to find this lease and fix it up and run it tells you that they are a pretty special bunch of fellows. They are'nt bossy or act like it is thier feild or anything like that. I feel very welcome and I feel as though they want me to have a good time.

They do have events from time to time. Around Houston, air racing is very big. They sort of have a circuit. The clubs involved take turns hosting the races. Sometimes we cook out. They also have fun flys sometimes.
