Bringing future airplane owners together

If you are looking to purchase a share of an airplane but don't know where to look or how to get started let me make it very simple for you.

We have a database of all of the people that are interested in joining a airplane co-op in each state.

Every co-op manager can see where you are located and what type of plane you are interested in and from this list we can contact people that are in our areas to get more information or sign them in to a share of their plane of choice.

For this to work we need you to sign up and give the best description of your desired airplane that you can so we are able to match you with partners that are in your area.

It doesn't matter what state you are in or what co-op you send your information through as it is all pulled from the same database and filtered to the state that you wish to own your airplane in.

This doesn't cost one red cent and the information you give us will not be shared with anybody except co-op managers to help like pilots with their dream airplane.

Sign up today and Lets Fly!

Most common airplanes to date:
SportCruiser LSA
Technam
Atec Faeta
Cessna 152, 172, 182
Piper PA-28
These are just some of the planes that people are waiting for enough partners to purchase a membership before they purchase the airplane and start to fly and the lowest cost in their areas.
Help us bring members together today!

Seeking members for LSA in Kent

Lets Fly Washington is accepting membership for a new Light Sport airplane to be placed at Crest Airpark (S36) in Kent Washington.



Crest Airpark has been chosen because it is close to Renton, Seattle, Puyallup and Auburn but isn't in the middle of the city.



Crest Airpark still retains the small town feel and has not only great people to chat with but lower costs than the bigger airports.

We are looking for members in either a Sport Cruiser or Flight Design CTLS.

We currently have 3 openings so shoot us an e-mail so we can get you approved before they are taken.

Jump in to the world of airplane ownership for less than $500 per month and fly for between $30 to $45 per hour depending on the airplane.

Why do you fly to your chosen destination?

There are many web sites that give you information on what to expect at different airfields as far as fuel, FBO services, maintenance and other useful items but you don't normally find local attractions or reasons to go to these airports.

What I would like to do is collect some information from you as to why you choose to fly to different places. I know that many pick their destinations based on business needs, family visits and vacations.

I want to put together a list of fun or useful attractions at these airports like my information page on Roche Harbor Washington.

Help me build these pages by submitting your favorite destination and attractions, feel free to include pictures of the airfield, FBO, local attractions and anything else you feel that would be useful.

Send your suggestions and info to me at Lets Fly Wa
