Welcome to the Blackhawk Flying Club

Blackhawk Flying Club is a not-for-profit corporation based at Chicago/Rockford Airport (RFD). The club was founded in 1953 for the purpose of encouraging interest in aviation and providing safe, economical aircraft for flight training, and general recreational flying, with the intention of advancing each member’s knowledge and skills in aviation.

Blackhawk Flying Club owns a Cessna 172M aircraft, equipped for IFR with a modern Garmin GPS. Members support the operation of the aircraft by monthly dues and hourly fees. The club is managed by members who are elected as directors and officers. Aircraft are scheduled over the internet.
