Our Story
Built by a pilot.
Free for the community.
Flying clubs are the most affordable path to regular flight for most pilots. This site exists to help them find each other — and to keep it that way.
AmericasFlyingClubs.com is — and always will be — free to use.
Listing your club is free. Finding a club is free. The resources, guides, and documents are free. This is a community service, not a commercial venture. Any supporter revenue goes directly back into improving the site and promoting flying clubs across the country.
The Founder
Hi. I'm Jeff Broomall.
I've been a professional pilot for 26 years — starting as a CFI, working up through Captain, and spending the last 11 years as a Captain and Line Check Pilot flying Part 135 for a larger air carrier. I've flown into hundreds of smaller airports across this country — the kind where a Cub is tied down next to a turboprop, someone's cooking burgers on the ramp on a Saturday, and the flying club shares a hangar with the local EAA chapter. Those places remind me every time what general aviation is really about.
Before I was flying professionally full time, I spent years at AOPA as both an Aviation Technical Specialist and Online Specialist — talking to thousands of pilots about what it actually costs to fly, what their options were, and how many of them had never heard of a flying club or couldn't find one near their airport.
Flying clubs are the most accessible path to regular flight for most people. Lower cost than ownership or FBO rental, shared maintenance, built-in community. AmericasFlyingClubs.com is part of a broader network of resources — connecting the flying club experience to everything else in aviation: finding an airplane, owning one, partnering on one. The whole ecosystem, in one place.
That's why I built this. Not to make money — to fill a gap in the community I love.

The Mission
Why this exists
Connect pilots with clubs
Thousands of clubs across the country have empty seats. Thousands of pilots can't find one near their airport. This directory bridges that gap — free, for both sides.
Preserve institutional knowledge
The FAA stopped updating flying club guidance in 1969. We've modernized that document, built new resources, and made them freely available to anyone who needs them.
Keep more people flying
Every pilot who joins a flying club instead of giving up is a win for general aviation. Flying clubs are how we keep GA alive at the local level — one airport at a time.
How We Stay Free
Supported by the community
No club pays to rank higher in our directory — listings are merit-based and free. The site is supported by a small number of strategically placed ads and sponsored service provider carousels that connect pilots with relevant resources at the right moment. Supporters and sponsors help keep the lights on and the mission moving forward.

From the Community
Success Stories
Real pilots. Real clubs. Real stories about what happens when a group of people decide to stop talking about flying and start doing it together.
We started with four pilots, a handshake, and a 1975 Cessna 172 that needed a lot of love. Five years later we have twelve members, two aircraft, and a waiting list.

I had my private certificate and no way to afford to keep flying. Joining the club changed everything. I went from flying twice a year to twice a month.
Coming Soon
Club Member · KXXX
Our club has kept three general aviation aircraft flying at our small airport for over twenty years. Without us, that ramp would be empty.
