About

The club strives to bring the enjoyment of flight to as many people as possible. While maintaining a culture of safety and respect.

Currently members enjoy access to a Piper Warrior, Archer II, and Arrow III. The Club is located on Sheboygan Airport, KSBM, which is a well maintained non-towered airport with two runways: Runway 04-22 is concreate 6800’ by 100’ Runway 13-31 is a asphalt 5002’ by 75’.
