WHERE & WHY / 045°

WHY JOIN
RFC?

The case for flying club membership — and why Raleigh Flying Club stands apart.

01

CENTRAL TRIANGLE LOCATION

Two bases — RDU and 5W5 — means easy access from anywhere in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle. No long drives to some out-of-the-way airport.

02

REASONABLE DUES

Membership starting at $85/month. No surprise fees, no hidden costs. Our goal is to make flying accessible, not a luxury for the few.

03

FLY MORE, OFTEN

By sharing costs across members, you get access to well-maintained, modern aircraft at a fraction of what ownership would cost.

04

LEARN AND STAY

Train in our aircraft as a student, then keep flying them once you're licensed. Transition to more capable cross-country aircraft as you grow.

05

A REAL COMMUNITY

Club events, fly-outs, and a community of pilots who share your passion. This isn't just aircraft rental — it's a flying family.

06

HIGH-PERFORMANCE OPTIONS

Premium members get access to Bonanzas and the Cherokee 6 — serious cross-country machines that can take you anywhere on the East Coast.
