Belong to a Type Club? List it here!

[Jay Honeck]

I'm trying to compile a list (maybe this could be a "sticky"?) of aircraft type clubs, and haven't been able to find a single, comprehensive list.

Thanks!

That's not a type club, that's a support group. I own a plane and should be a card carrying member.

It's still the American Yankee Association, but it's been "rebranded" as "AYA - the International Grumman American Pilots Association" so folks know it's not a bunch of Civil War Union Army reenactors or something.

Grumman Gang

The Grumman Gang is an email list dedicated to the Grumman-American family of light planes, but not really a "type club."

Jay, there's over 100 listed here... But, if you're intent on reinventing the wheel, may I suggest you start with round in mind?

There's a guy down at the end of the hangar row restoring a Colonial Skimmer that hasn't flown since the late '70s early '80s. He may have flown it this fall - it was real close when I last talked to him. I did get a short video of it moving under it's own power in front of the hangar.

There is a T-18 mutual aid society and a HP gliders group. I would assume most reasonably popular homebuilts have at least a mailing list. (Never seen one for my ride, though.)

So much for AOPA. We sent email to 63 clubs/associations on AOPA's list.

26 instantly bounced back as invalid email addresses.

Epic Fail.

As witnessed personally in St. Simon's Island for the AYA International Fly-in, where I thought I had entered "Gone with the Wind", until I politely explained what the heck I was doing there.
