Welcome!

Sky-Vu Flyers, Inc. is dedicated to providing safe, affordable flying fun to its members. Our club is one of the oldest, continuously-operating, not-for-profit flying organizations in the state of Indiana. Incorporated in 1956, Sky-Vu Flyers has grown to 60 owner-members and four Cessna airplanes today.

Cessna 182T with 'glass panel'. Sky-Vu has in its fleet a 2004 182T with a NavIII avionics package. Check it out by clicking on N721ZA. Our long term plan to replace our existing fleet with newer aircraft and advanced avionics. If you are interested in joining and experiencing flying all of our great airplanes, contact our membership officer.

Our airplanes are hangared year-round at two of the Indianapolis area's most conveniently located airports - Indianapolis Metro (UMP) and Eagle Creek (EYE) Airports. All airplanes are equipped with Tanis heaters to assist with cold-weather starts during the winter months.

As a result, all Sky-Vu members are responsible for helping to maintain our airplanes in safe operating condition. We count on our members to promptly and responsibly report any maintenance issues to the appropriate maintenance officers. Our maintenance officers make sure that the airplanes receive regular and unscheduled maintenance as required.

All Sky-Vu aircraft and members are covered by insurance purchased by the club. Insurance coverage includes a $1,000 deductible, full hull-replacement coverage and up to $1,000,000 of liability coverage per accident.

We're upgrading our fleet!

In May of 2004, Sky-Vu Flyers began implementation of a long-term plan to "modernize" our fleet beginning with the sale of two aircraft and purchase of a new or almost new airplane every three to four years. The 'first step' was accomplished with the addition of our 2000 Cessna 182 in the fall of 2004. In addition, we upgraded the avionics in our remaining airplanes. That too was completed in January 2005, Our Cessna 172R and Cessna 182R were upgraded with advanced avionics stacks including the new Garmin GNS480 GPS/Nav/Comm package with Mode-S traffic alert.

In September 2006 we replaced our C182RG with a newer the 2004 C182T, N721ZA. It has a NavIII avionics package which includes the G1000 'glass panel'. The plane also has TIS, terrain, and XM weather (and XM Radio) capability.

We continuously monitor our progress to make sure that Sky-Vu members get the most flying value with safe, quality aircraft at affordable rates. Join Sky-Vu Flyers now and be part our exciting plans for the future!
