Why a club

One great airplane. A small group of pilots.

Owning an airplane means hangar rent, insurance, annuals and an engine fund — whether you fly or not. The Go Around Club splits those fixed costs across a handful of members, so you get a well-kept six-seat airplane on the ramp at KBTR without carrying it alone.

Room for family, friends and bags — six seats and a big cabin door
Hangared, not tied down, at a full-service FBO
Predictable costs: upfront, monthly, and hourly — that's it
