The Beginning
The Flying Knuckleheads were born at White Knuckle Ranch, a motocross and motorsports training facility in the heart of the Southwest. The ranch was founded by a group of friends who loved everything about racing: the speed, the adrenaline, the thrill of victory. But they also loved the camaraderie, the sense of community, and the feeling of belonging.
The Expansion
One day, a few of the guys at White Knuckle Ranch decided to try something new: flying. They had always been fascinated by airplanes and the freedom they represented. So they took some lessons, bought their own planes, and started flying together.
​
At first, it was just a way to have fun and explore new places. But as they flew more and more, they realized that they loved it. They loved the feeling of being in the air, the challenge of flying, and the beauty of the world from above.
​
But they also realized that there was something missing from the flying community. They wanted to create a group of pilots who were passionate about flying, but also about having fun and supporting each other.
