Welcome To The Club

” …. at the BC Interior’s BEST G.A. airport. “

6210 Tronson Road, Vernon, British Columbia.  Show Map

“…..you can think of us as a flying club with lots of social activities or a social club with lots of flying.”

The Vernon Flying Club, established in 1946, is also Flight #65 of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. An event that the club hosts is COPA Discover Aviation, where children aged 8 to 20 are introduced to aviation and enjoy, what is for many, their first flight in a small airplane.  FOR FREE!

Are you interested in learning to fly, renting an airplane or taking a sightseeing flight?  While the Vernon Flying Club does not provide these services, our good neighbour at the Vernon airport, Aurora Aviation Academy, can help.

We Would Like To Meet You !

Most mornings a group of dedicated members gather at the airport clubhouse on Tronson Road for their 10 o’clock coffee.  If you have an interest in aviation, drop in and say ‘Hi’ . The coffee is on us.

In addition to our well attended annual Rust Remover, we also host fly-in breakfasts, BBQs and other social events. The VFC supports local and provincial search and rescue, community events, an aviation scholarship and various local charities. The VFC holds its monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of the month at 7PM, the  exceptions being July, August and December.  Those with an interest in aviation are welcome to attend.  If you would like more information, use the Contact Us form.

“…visitors are always welcome.  Come on in and introduce yourself.”
