For over 50 years the Mockingbird Flying Club, based at the Sioux Falls Airport, has provided area pilots with safe and affordable personal aviation.
The 36 member Mockingbird Flying Club owns three Piper IFR equipped, professionally maintained and insured planes. The hangers are equipped with electric doors and are easily accessible. On-line scheduling and billing is very convenient using your computer, tablet, or smart phone. The financially sound club offers low rates, consistent leadership, flight instruction, safety pilots and the camaraderie with fellow aviation enthusiasts.
Social opportunities include Fall and Spring “birdie parties” where members and their families have a picnic and wash and wax club airplanes. The annual business meeting is held in January and a Spring Banquet and Awards Ceremony in March. Many activities include safety seminars, group flight reviews, and flying activities to interesting airports.
