Chilliwack Flying Club
Who We Are
Chilliwack has a rich aviation legacy going back to July 01,1914 when Billy Stark flew his Curtis Flyer and circled the city of Chilliwack.
Between that first flight and the end of the second war Chilliwack residents were prominent in pioneering aviation in British Columbia
The end of the Second World War brought a renewed sense of excitement about the future of aviation.
The Chilliwack Flying Club was incorporated in 1946 as a member club of the Royal Canadian Flying Club Association and 2026 will be its 80th anniversary.
During that time the Chilliwack Flying Club has been an strong participant and promoter of aviation.
Please go to the "history" tab to read the excellent booklet written by Barb Lawrence and Judy Robb – reproduced in the History section of our web page- outlining the early history of aviation in Chilliwack and the excellent summary of the History of Aviation in Chilliwack written by Merlin Brunt.
