About
The Atlantic Flying Club was established at the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport in 1970 by the late Gordan Dressler. Gordon's plan was to form a club which would make flying affordable for all The Club is a members owned and operated corporation located on lovely Amelia Island, Florida. This means upon becoming a member, you actually become part owner. The club's aircraft(s) is/are owned by it's members. Not an individual. The Club is structured in a way to allow all members who can not afford their own airplane an affordable option to fly without paying high rental fees. The Club does this by calculating the operation costs associated with the airplane and implementing an hourly rate, without profit *(Currently $100.00). Secondly the fixed costs, hanger fee, insurance, and so forth, are calculated and are covered by monthly dues (Currently $40.00). We currently have a waiting list.
