Our History....

The St. Catharines Flying Club is located at Niagara District Airport. We are one of the oldest flying clubs in Canada, having formed the club in May 1928 and having received our charter in May 1929 with a DeHavilland DH60M Metal Moth marked CF-CAW as our first trainer.The Moth was granted from the "Dominion Government".
