If you have never been out to the field in Thompsonville at the airport, come watch us fly. We have our scheduled flying day in the flying season on Thursday afternoons at 4pm. We also fly other weekdays if any club member wants to come out. When entering the airport veer to the right. Our field is next to the paved plane parking area.
We also have a flying field at the Empire Airport. Some of our members fly there. This is a wide open place to fly with very few obstacles. Typically we Fly as a group at Thompsonville. However, a couple of times in the season, we fly at the Empire Airport. I don’t know of any other club in Michigan that has two airports to fly at. We are truly blessed to have two such great flying sites.
Our annual Summer Airshow will be held on Saturday August 26 2023 at the Thompsonville airport. Pilots from all over the state and nearby states will be attending.
