Welcome
Welcome to the Troy Oakland Pilots Flying Club (TOPS) web page. We are located at the Oakland-Troy Airport (KVLL) which is approximately 15 miles north of Downtown Detroit.
The purpose of the TOPS Flying Club is to provide safe, reliable, and pleasurable flying and/or flight instruction for members at the most reasonable cost possible.
The club provides a friendly atmosphere for its members. There are both flying and non-flying related gatherings scheduled throughout the year (holiday parties, flying trips, barbecues, etc).
Take a look around. We hope you’ll enjoy what you see and will want to join in the fun and excitement we call TOPS.
