The fleet
What we fly.
Based at Essex County Airport (KCDW) in Caldwell. Rates are per tach hour, wet — fuel included, and you pay only for what you fly.
The everyday airplane
1976 Piper Warrior (PA-28-151, 160 hp)
N8528C
Four seats, 160 horsepower, and a basic IFR panel. A $100 hamburger, a weekend away, or an hour of approaches — without thinking about the bill.
$150.55per tach hour, wet

What we plan to add.
Neither is chosen or committed to. We add a plane when the flying justifies it.
Planned · 2026–2027
A second everyday airplane
A Warrior, Archer or 172 like N8528C — but with an IFR GPS, so you can fly GPS approaches and file with it.
Depends on How hard the Warrior gets flown.
Planned · 2027
A capable traveler
A 182 or a Dakota — faster, four real seats with bags, and an autopilot for long cross-countries.
Depends on Member demand for longer trips.
Additional aircraft may be based at nearby airports such as Morristown (MMU) or Lincoln Park (N07).
