Many Reasons To Join A Club

Joining a club is a great investment in the hobby. If you are a new pilot it is by far the best way to learn with the assistance of experienced pilots. It generally means you learn faster, better and with considerably less frustration than attempting to learn on your own. For experienced pilots RWF provides you with a great facility where you may fly any time you want legally without trespassing on private property or flying off busy roads. Plus there are many other benefits' a club brings to its members.

We would enjoy having you as a new member, its always great to have new faces in the club. The club is a great way to learn to fly, learn more about the hobby and make some good friend's. Many of our members have been in the club for many years and have made friends with other members that now go farther than just friends at the field. The club is a great group of people to fly with as well as sit out at the field and socialize, talk airplanes or go for coffee after a day of flying. Come on out for a visit I am sure you will meet some friendly faces.

Interested In Joining RWF?

The flying season generally runs from when the snow melts in the spring and the field is accessable to either walk from the clubhouse area or once the field dries enough we may drive to the onfield parking area. Flying then continues for most until fall season and the cold and possibly snow begin to fly. At that time the majority of pilots no longer fly so we do recommend that late in the season if you are looking at joining that you wait until January 1st of the coming season, that way your membership is good for a full year.
