EAGLE AIR FLYING CLUB

COME FLY WITH US!

AIRCRAFT

Welcome to EAFC! We're excited to offer you access to our two airplanes, a Piper Cherokee 140 and a Piper Archer 180, based at the Wood County Regional Airport (1G0). As a member, you can use these planes and enjoy the freedom of flying at your own leisure. We take care of all fuel and operational costs, which are covered by a combination of monthly membership dues and hourly flight-time fees. Come and experience the joy of flying with EAFC!

TRAINING

Are you looking to learn how to fly in the Bowling Green or Toledo area? Look no further! While we are not a traditional flight school, joining our flying club is one of the most affordable ways to obtain your Private Pilot License and beyond. As a club member, you will have access to our trainer airplane for lessons, and we can connect you with a range of approved Certified Flight Instructors (or, you can bring your own!). Our experienced team is here to support you every step of the way as you pursue your passion for flying. Join us today and take the first step towards becoming a licensed pilot!

SOCIAL

Welcome to EAFC, where our love for aviation brings us together! Since 2003, we have been an informal group of pilots who share a passion for flying and spreading the joy of aviation. Our safe and well-maintained aircraft are available for use by all members, regardless of whether you have a pilot license or not. We are always looking for new members who share our enthusiasm for aviation, and we invite you to join us today. As a member of EAFC, you'll have access to our planes, as well as the opportunity to connect with other aviation enthusiasts and participate in club events. Come fly with us and experience the freedom of the skies!

What does it cost?

At EAFC, we're not just a business that rents airplanes – we're a community of aviation enthusiasts who share the cost of owning our aircraft in exchange for equal access to flying them. Joining our club is easy – all it takes is a $500 deposit, 80% of which is refundable if and when you leave the club. To help cover fixed expenses, we collect $1500 annually in dues, paid as $125 per month. Members are responsible for their portion of actual flight time at a rate of $120* per Hobbs Hour Wet, which includes the cost of fuel.

If you have multiple pilots in your family, we also offer an Associate membership with no deposit required and a 50% discount on dues (an active Regular membership is required to sponsor the Associate member).

* Note: Wet rate may vary based on average fuel price at 1G0, but will never be lower than $115/hr for the Cherokee

EXAMPLE:

Julie joins the club and flies the Cherokee for 5.5 hours.
Price to join: $625 = $500 (deposit) + $125 (first month's dues)
Flight Time Billed at end of month: $577.50 = 5.5 x $105*

Years later, Julie leaves the club because she is moving out of the area.
Deposit returned: $400 (80% of deposit paid)

IMPORTANT NOTE: In 2022, the price of AVGAS hit an all-time high - nearly $8 per gallon for 100LL - prompting us to adopt a policy that ties the aircraft's wet rate to the average local price of 100LL at our home airport.

Come fly with EAFC and experience the freedom of the skies while sharing your passion for aviation with other like-minded individuals.
