Welcome
The Cascade Flyers is a private non-profit aviation club flying out of Paine Field in Everett, Washington. The club is limited to a maximum of 30 members and operates two well maintained aircraft, a Skyhawk (C172) and a Skylane (C182).
Our Community
The Cascade Flyers consists of 30 members, each pilot has a minimum of 200 total hours of flight time or an instrument rating. Members purchase an equity share in the aircraft and pay a low monthly dues to cover fixed costs. Members benefit, not only from easily-available aircraft and coverage under the club insurance policy, but also the camaraderie of fellow pilots ranging in experience from VFR only private pilots to ATPs.
Member Highlight

Tory T.
Member of Cascade Flyers: Since 2005
Flight Experience: “I’ve been flying since 2002. Becoming a pilot was a lifelong dream which started while growing up in Alaska. I fly single-engine airplanes and gliders.”
Why he thinks it’s great to be a member of Cascade Flyers: “I love having access to familiar and well-maintained airplanes, and the camaraderie that goes along with a highly involved and active club membership.”
Favorite Route: “It’s hard to beat a day trip to the San Juan Islands. Lots of places to go, easy to get around on the ground after arrival, and the ‘can’t get there by car’ aspect makes it extra special.”

Member of Cascade Flyers: Since 2013
Flight Experience: “My dad was a private pilot, so I’ve been flying since I was 6 years old…”
Why he thinks it’s great to be a member of Cascade Flyers: “Great camaraderie! Also a very cost effective way to fly.”
Favorite Route: “Flying to the San Juan Islands in 40 minutes is MUCH more fun than driving and ferrying for six hours. Also flying over our magnificent mountains is a real kick.”
Our Aircraft
The Cascade Flyers aircraft are hangared conveniently on-field at Paine Field in Everett, Washington (KPAE). The C172 is IFR equipped and is available to members at a low hourly rate. The C182 is an IFR equipped, high-performance aircraft with an STOL kit to aid short field performance and is also very reasonably priced. Both have recently had newly overhauled engines installed (2012/2016) so they are raring to fly!
