The BFC meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm. The meetings are held at the Brookings Airport terminal. (Any meeting date/time changes will be posted on our website.) The BFC owns a hangar and a Cessna 172 aircraft which can be rented by qualified club members.
The mission of the BFC is to promote interest and abilities in the field of aviation.

The aircraft’s exterior lights are high quality Whelen lights.
The front seats of the aircraft are equipped with car-style inertial real seatbelts for the shoulder harness portion.
Because of our location on the coast, the aircraft is also equipped with four FAA-approved life jackets.
The engine is a Lycoming O-320 rated at 160 hp. In July 2005, the engine was replaced with a re-manufactured engine.
The club is very active in flight instruction. The plane is used for both student instruction, and member rental. It rents for $110.00 / hour wet, and requires club membership, and a checkout by the club before renting.
