Yellow Jacket Flying Club
About
The Yellow Jacket Flying Club is an aviation oriented organization at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, GA. The YJFC was founded by several GT students who wanted to fly in 1945, and has a rich history of promoting aviation in the Georgia Tech community and the entire Atlanta area. The club exists to provide opportunities for students, alumni, faculty, and staff to pursue their passion for aviation. Whether it is simply hanging out with other aviation enthusiasts, or actually learning how to fly, the YJFC has something for everybody! By teaming with a local non-profit (YJFC Inc, 501(c)(3)), members of the YJFC also have the opportunity to learn to fly at a substantially lower cost, making it even easier to get a pilot's license. This non-profit has a fleet of 4 Cessna 172 aircraft that are open to all club members to fly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! While the YJFC has been based at several airports over the years, we currently fly out of Dekalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) in Chamblee, GA, which is a short drive up I-85 or MARTA ride from campus.
