About
Illinois Valley Flying club is the largest club in the Illinois central valley. We are a not for profit club that has been around for over 30 years, and also assist with community activities such as a fly in breakfast, airplane wash and wax, young eagles, and assit with the annual TBM avengers reunion at the airport. Our 3 club aircraft are a Cessna Skyhawk, a Piper Archer, and a Piper Arrow. We are open to new members, and have equity memberships available, and each member pays annual dues, in return in order to get attractive club rental rates and access to club instructors.
