The RPI Flying Club consists of aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and student pilots who all share a common interest; things that fly.
Whether it be helicopters, airplanes, or even hot air balloons, we’ve got it. We indulge in our love of aviation through a variety of events. From our field trips where we rent planes and the pilots fly while the other club members hop in as passengers, or our movie nights where we reserve a big lecture room and blast movies such as Top Gun, you can be rest assured that you'll find something to suit your interests.
