FAQ

Do I have to be a pilot to join?

No! We offer many other equally important roles for our Members. Some airborne and some ground based.

Will I really get to fly with you?

For those members that choose to pursue one (or more) of our aircraft roles then almost certainly!

Is it expensive to join? Are there ongoing costs?

No! A small membership fee is due annually, however most members incur no additional costs during their membership. And yes, that includes time when you'll be flying!

I am under 18, can I join your squadron?

No, we are a senior member squadron. Why not check out our local cadet squadron also at Lunken -  Lunken Cadet Squadron 078)

I have my pilot certificate, what opportunities are there for me?

There are multiple pilot roles available depending on a number of factors related broadly to your experience, ratings and PIC hours. These range from being simply qualified to fly the aircraft through to fully fledged examiners assessing our Mission Pilots.

You're in the Kentucky Wing but are based at Luken?

Yep! Lunken is the closest airfield with the facilities we require, even if we do have to cross the river to meet and fly!

Do I HAVE to wash the aircraft?

Of course!
