Chapters

Built for the DFW chapters.

We work directly with the Dallas and Fort Worth chapters. Pick yours for local details.

EO Dallas

KDTO sits at the top of the Dallas North Tollway, roughly 35 minutes from Uptown and under 25 from Frisco or Plano — closer than most Dallas members expect, and a towered field with two runways and no airline traffic to sequence behind.

EO Fort Worth

From downtown Fort Worth it is about 40 minutes up I-35W to KDTO, and closer still from Alliance, Keller and Southlake — a full-service FBO with a staffed ramp instead of a self-serve pump and a keypad.

Why we're doing this

Started by a tenured EO member.

Charlie Alsmiller has been an EO member for years. A4Flight came out of the same conversations EO is built on — forum, accountability, and building the thing you wished existed.

Built by an EO member

Charlie Alsmiller — a long-time, tenured EO member — started A4Flight because renting tired old airframes was the worst part of flying. The club is the fix.

Time you can actually use

Modern glass panels, online scheduling, and dispatch from Sheltair FBO at Denton Enterprise Airport (KDTO) — a towered field with two runways and no airline traffic.

Forum-grade transparency

Published rates, no fuel surcharges, no surprise club assessments. Every number you see here is the number we invoice.

The Cirrus experience

Two Cirrus SR20-G2s. The airplane your peers actually want to be seen in.

This is the part that separates A4Flight from a rental counter. The SR20 flies like a modern machine, looks the part on the ramp, and carries a whole-airframe parachute.

CAPS — a parachute for the airplane

The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System recovers the entire aircraft, not the pilot. It is the most persuasive safety feature in general aviation and the reason spouses say yes.

Glass-panel flight deck

Avidyne Entegra primary flight and multifunction displays, a DFC 100 digital autopilot, IFR-capable avionics and datalink weather. Side-yoke handling, leather seats, a cabin that feels current.

Four seats, real cross-countries

Denton to Austin, Hot Springs or Santa Fe in an afternoon with bags and a client or family in the back — at a published wet rate, with no fuel surcharge math on landing.
