Home » About Michiana Air Activities
Safety isn’t a slogan for Michiana Air Activities—it’s the way we fly, plan, and make decisions as a group. We believe the best flying happens when pilots stay current, stay humble, and keep learning. That’s why continuing education and proficiency are part of the culture, not an afterthought. Members share tips, training resources, and real-world experience so everyone benefits from the group’s knowledge. Whether you’re new to flying or have thousands of hours, you’ll find a community that takes safety seriously while still keeping it enjoyable.
Flying is supposed to be fun, and we don’t forget that. There’s something special about turning a normal day into an adventure—sunset flights, weekend getaways, breakfast runs, and the simple peace of being above it all. Our club exists to protect that joy and make it more accessible through shared ownership. You’re not just renting an airplane for a quick trip—you’re part of a group that values the experience and the freedom it brings. If you love aviation for the way it makes you feel, you’ll fit right in here.
MAA isn’t only for pilots—it’s for the people who support them, fly with them, and share the excitement. Club meetings are open to family members and prospective members because aviation is better when it includes the whole crew. Spouses, kids, friends, and future members are welcome to attend, ask questions, and see what the club is all about. That openness helps keep our community strong and makes it easy for new people to feel comfortable. If you’re curious about joining, the best first step is simply showing up and getting to know us.
As a 501(c)(7) nonprofit organization, the club is built on members supporting the mission and each other. Members can be as involved as they want—some love serving in volunteer roles, while others prefer to participate mainly through flying. There are opportunities to contribute through committees, special projects, and Board positions, and every bit of help makes the club better. That volunteer spirit is part of what keeps MAA healthy and member-focused year after year. If you want a place where your time and skills can genuinely make an impact, this is it.
Every member of MAA is a partial owner of the club aircraft, and that changes the entire experience. Ownership creates pride, responsibility, and a higher standard for how the airplanes are treated and maintained. It also offers practical benefits—better access, a more consistent experience, and a sense that you’re flying “your” airplane, not just borrowing one. You get the freedom of aviation without carrying the full weight of solo ownership, and you get it alongside a community of fellow pilots who care. At the end of the day, it’s about creating more opportunities to fly—and enjoying the journey with people who get it.
