The University Flying Club is an organization that provides an affordable means for University of Maine students, affiliates, and pilots to pursue flight training and to have access to an airplane.
Our meetings take place at the University of Maine campus every month, and we also host private pilot ground schools, FAA Wings Seminars, and other events throughout the year.
We currently own and operate a Cessna 152 (N4916B) and a Cessna 172 (N4261L). Both aircraft have GPS as well as NAV and COM radios. 61L includes a glide slope and can be used for instrument training. Both aircraft are based at Bangor International Airport (BGR). The rate is $55 per hour for 16B and $75 per hour for 61L (includes fuel).
Meeting Schedule
The University Flying Club meets every month, usually on the second Wednesday. All meetings are held at 7 PM in the Memorial Union, unless otherwise noted.
