Yellow Jacket Flying Club

The Yellow Jacket Flying Club, or the YJFC for short, is an aviation oriented organization at Georgia Tech.

The YJFC was founded by several Georgia Tech students who wanted to fly in 1946, 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 f

ly, the YJFC has something for everybody! As a not-for-profit club, the YJFC brings the cost of learning to fly down, making it even easier to get a pilot's license. We have 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.
