In addition to a long aviation history, Yakima also boosts an active, viable Aircraft factory, CubCrafters, and continues to train individuals for careers in Aviation Maintenance at the YVTech Aviation Skills Center. CubCrafters and the YVTech Aviation Skills Center host Chapter Meetings and generously provide technical support for Chapter 206. Some of Yakima's aviation heritage is preserved at The McAllister Museum of Aviation.

We share many common interests with the Yakima Chapter of the Washington Pilots Association and participate with the WPA in advocating general aviation and aviation safety.

For your convenience we have a number of useful links to assist in flight planning. These links can generate legal NACO approach and departure plates for YKM. We are planning a help page with templates and links to free html editors that should help members construct personal web pages that describe their projects
