Our History

Flywell Flying Club, known as "Minnesota's Premier Flying Club", was chartered in 1963 as a non-profit social organization. We are the oldest flying club in Minnesota.

Our conservative financial management over the decades has made us one of the most financially stable clubs in the state. All members are equal owners of our four aircraft and our hangar.

Located at Anoka County Airport (KANE), we are approximately 20 miles north of Minneapolis, conveniently positioned under the KMSP Class B airspace with easy access to practice areas and cross-country routes.
