Our Past Raffle Winners!

Winter 2025 
In November 2025, we raffled off our Cherokee 180, and this winner chose to take the aircraft home. Just days before Christmas, he and one of our CFIs, Jonas Gordon, flew the Cherokee all the way to California! Seeing this aircraft begin its next chapter in such a meaningful way was the perfect way to close out the year. 
 
 
Summer 2025 
In July 2025, we raffled off our reimagined and restored Cessna 172N Skyhawk. Our lucky winners, Keith Krumwiede and his wife, flew into Louisville in their own aircraft to visit Flight Club 502 in person. After careful consideration, they chose the cash prize to put toward upgrades for their current airplane. Both have had exceptional careers in aviation, and we loved getting to celebrate this moment with them. To learn more, be sure to watch their interview below.



Spring 2025
In April 2025, we raffle off our beloved Cherokee 180, an aircraft that has helped create many of our Flight Club 502 pilots. After some consideration, the winner, Judd Daigneau, decided to opt for the cash prize instead.
