Flying club

[1][2] Many clubs also provide flight training, flight planning facilities, pilot supplies and associated services, as well as organizing social functions, fly-ins and fly-outs to other airports and so forth.

[citation needed] Most flying clubs own and rent small general aviation aircraft.

However some clubs also exist to provide access to more specialized aircraft, such as vintage planes, aerobatic planes, helicopters and gliders.

[citation needed] In Canada, however, the clubs can be fairly large non-profit operations, some dating back to the 1920s and operating at large airports as well as small.

Canadian flying clubs often serve as fixed-base operators at their airports as well as flight schools and aircraft renters.
