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

  • David D.

    Member of Cascade Flyers: Since 2014

    Flight Experience: “Flying for about 4 years. Started as a student in a 1940 Taylorcraft, then got my Private Pilot in a Piper Warrior, then completed my tailwheel endorsement, and added Single Engine Seaplane, and High Performance Endorsement.”

    Why he thinks it’s great to be a member of Cascade Flyers: “I love how the members care about the planes, and each other. We have access to schedule the planes ahead of time, using an online scheduling tool.”

    Favorite Route: “Cross Country to the San Juan Islands (Orcas is about 50 NM away ). Also XC to the dry-side of the state and beyond.”

  • Ben S.

    Member of Cascade Flyers: Since 2014

    Flight Experience: “I’ve been flying for a little over 2 years, all my time has been in Cessnas. I did all of my primary training and most of my instrument training in 150s (and 172s) and I recently started taking tailwheel lessons in a 170.”

    Why he thinks it’s great to be a member of Cascade Flyers: “Cascade Flyers is a great group of folks, passionate about flying. Our planes are beautiful, well taken care of, generally very available, and the best price in the north end.”

    Favorite Route: “I love flying to Orcas island. They have a FREE pilot car at the airport, great restaurants on the island, and it’s a beautiful flight.”

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!
