History

Early History of the Star Aero Club

The Star Aero Club was initially formed in 1978. Over its 40+ years in operation, club members have seen many changes in Honeywell, general aviation, Deer Valley airport, club activities, and yes, even the club members themselves. This page captures a few of theĀ  activities, newsletters, and other documents providing a glimpse into the world of the Star Aero club in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

The club was formed as a non-profit corporation in May of 1978. Here are the original Articles of Incorporation.
