About the Sun Lakes Aero Club


The Sun Lakes Aero Club (SLAC), established over 30 years ago in Sun Lakes, Arizona, aims to foster interest in aviation and promote knowledge of aviation-related fields.

The club meets on the fourth Monday from November through April at the Cottonwood Country Club Lecture Hall (across from the pool). Speakers on aviation-related topics are featured.

While SLAC doesn’t own aircraft, many of our members own or rent planes, or have access to aircraft through their membership in conventional flying clubs.

Speakers and field trips

Guest presenters have covered diverse topics like skydiving, sailplanes, and aerobatics. Our speakers include veterans – many of them Sun Lakes residents – who have shared their combat flying experiences from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. Occasional field trips to aviation-related sites and attractions round out our most popular club activities. All programs are open to the public.

Membership

Our club welcomes aviation enthusiasts from Sun Lakes, Arizona and beyond. Members have interests in all areas of flight – from hot air balloons and sailplanes to ultralights, homebuilt aircraft, factory-built planes, and radio-controlled models. Even paper airplane enthusiasts will find a place here. Annual membership is an affordable $10.
