Eagle Air Flying Club, Inc., Bowling Green

As a recreational flying club operating out of Wood County Regional Airport, Eagle Air Flying Club gives aspiring aviators access to its pair of airplanes for lessons and flying time. While not itself a flying school, club members keep a Rolodex of certified flying Instructors handy for use by non-members and new recruits. Both planes in the club's hangar—a refurbished '73 Piper Arrow and '68 Piper Cherokee—let pilots earn experience with the instruments, protocols, and inside jokes used by actual pilots.
