Founded in 1947, The Mishawaka Pilots Club has a long history in the Michiana community for providing a path to economical flight instruction, rental, and aircraft ownership. The Club promotes responsible airmanship and strives to keep a safe and clean presence for our neighbors. The annual Fathers Day Fly-In and Pancake Breakfast has provided may area residents with their first airplane ride.
The MPC has over 100 current members, and is home to approximately 65 airplanes including single engine, multi-engine, ultralights,
light sport, home builts, and helicopters. There is currently Hangar space available in several sizes for purchase and possibly rental.
The club has a heated and air conditioned club house where our monthly meetings are held on the 1ST Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM. Anyone interested in learning more about joining the club are welcome to attend, you don't have to be a pilot or aircraft owner to attend or join the club.
You can join the Mishawaka Pilots Club for a one time initiation fee of $ 200.00 and monthly dues of
$ 30.00 per Month or discounted to $ 300.00 if prepaid for the full year (pro rated at date of joining)
The Mishawaka Pilots Club is a great place to learn to fly and get your Pilots License or that next rating, or to base your Airplane, Rent the club plane, or socialize with other members and learn about flying or Airplane ownership. There is not cost or obligation to attend our monthly meeting and get more details.
The 3C1 Airport has 2 runways, 21-03 is 2,243' x 40' asphalt and is lighted, 12-30 is 3,140 x 100' and is Good Grass. We also have some of the lowest fuel prices around for our members.
