About
PRNFC is a recreational and instructional flying organization based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, USA. Membership is open to all active duty, reserve, and retired military, Civil Air Patrol, civil servants, DoD contractors, and their immediate families. The objective of PRNFC is to provide an off-duty, voluntary educational opportunity for base personnel to develop skills in aeronautics including piloting, navigation, mechanics, and other related aero sciences. We provide an opportunity for naval aviators to maintain pilot proficiency skills while assigned to non-flying billets, encourage awareness and appreciation of aviation requirements and techniques, provide a facility designed to assist in meeting the recreational needs for low-cost, safe, light aircraft operations, and provide a social program in the interest of promoting club activities and morale.
