Does Signal offer discounts to Tuck Students?

I have another question - Whom can I contact?

I've never flown before, can I join?

Absolutely! We have members with no flying experience (just interested), former military and corporate pilots, and every level in between.

Is there an airport nearby

Lebanon, the town south of Hanover, is home to Lebanon Airport (LEB). LEB is a controlled class D airport, averaging 176 operations/year. We see everything from training flights in Cessna 172's, to Hawker and Citation jet traffic, to US Airways scheduled airline service between LEB and New York's Laguardia Airport (LGA) (operated by Colgan Air). See the airport's website for more information

LEB is home to Signal Aviation, a full service FBO that offers airplane rental (their fleet currently consists of 2 Cessna 172SP's), flight instruction, maintenance, fuel, and more.

Sharkey's Helicopters offers helicopter service, parts, charter, and instruction.

Does Signal offer discounts to Tuck Students?

Yes, everyone affiliated with Dartmouth receives a 5% discount. Make sure you tell them you are a Tuck Student (they will want to make a copy of your student ID). In addition, you'll receive another 5% if you open an account with Signal and keep a minimum of $500 on deposit (as opposed to pay-as-you-go, or bill in arrears)

Does the club do any skydiving?

Now why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
