Our Aircraft

The Arizona Cloudbusters is committed to providing the best available aircraft to our members. That means maintaining them in top condition to provide reliability, ensure the safety of our members, and to protect the investment we put in our airplanes. Our maintenance officers help ensure our aircraft are among the best maintained in the Phoenix area.

Our aircraft rates are based on tach time and are wet. No more worrying about the Hobbs meter when you're stuck holding for traffic at the end of the runway! The Board of Directors periodically reviews these rates and adjustments are made based on current fuel and maintenance costs.

Fuel purchased while away from our home airport is reimbursed up to the published self-serve rate at Chandler Airport as of the first day of each month.
