Valley Aircraft Restoration Society

Welcome

We are a flying club at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, sharing a four-seat, IFR-equipped 1972 Piper Cherokee 235F kept in a locked hangar.

The club began in 1989 as a group of volunteers restoring helicopters for static display, and became a flying club in the late 1990s. The Cherokee has been ours since 2017. The full story is on the History page.

We are small by design — membership is capped at fifteen — and we meet monthly to talk about trips, the aircraft, and maintenance.

Interested in joining? Our membership is currently full, but we still accept applications — see the Join page.
