You'll be hooked!

"Go up two or three times and you'll be hooked" is how one of the charter members of T-Craft Aero Club explained her love of flying to a newspaper reporter in 1975.  T-Craft Aero Club had just been organized by about 20 pilots and student pilots with two aircraft and an immeasurable enthusiasm for flying.

The club now has six aircraft, more than four times as many members and the enthusiasm for flying has not waned.  Members use the aircraft for local flying within the valley, flying across the state, across the country and even international flying.  It is the goal of the club to maintain a fleet of safe aircraft for the private pilot and student pilot, and to operate those aircraft at the lowest cost possible.

T-Craft Aero Club is owned by its members and is operated on a non-profit basis.  Members do all administration and aircraft maintenance allowed by the Federal Aviation Regulations.  An enclosed, locked hangar at the Nampa Municipal Airport protects the aircraft against vandals and weather.  The Club provides an engine heater and heated hangar bay for the planes in the winter months.

Scheduling the use of the aircraft is managed with Schedule Master on the internet.  It is usually possible to reserve the specific aircraft needed for a trip although there are instances when a substitution is necessary.
