ABOUT

​We are a small flying club, based out of West Desert Airpark, dedicated to creating a fun, safe, learning environment for those seeking aviation knowledge.​

Originally established in 2003 by Mark Pringle, the West Desert Aviators was re-established in early 2017 by Matthew Kalm. Soon after, the club obtained an RV12 that was partially completed. 
The WDA took on this challenge to finish the aircraft and create a more affordable way for other fellow aviators to achieve their aviation dreams. 
​
Where the RV12 was an amazing club plane, a new chapter of the Aviators life has come to light where the club now has two RANS Raven S20's club planes as well as a RANS Courier S7S. ​
