M-ASA IS A VOLUNTEER CLUB

M-ASA is an all volunteer club. Sharing the work enables us to own and operate our own airport without paid staff or employees. Our Certified Flight Instructors volunteer their time to instruct, as do our qualified tow pilot members. All other members are committed to at least four days of field duty a season. Everyone chips in to help maintain the field, buildings and equipment.

By signing the Membership Application below you are acknowledging your intent to perform your share of volunteer duty for M-ASA. You also agree to electronic communications via email, text messaging, and content on the M-ASA web site.
