Johor Flying Club members fly to so many air shows in the region that organisers make it a point to invite the club because they know that they can depend on us to participate in their static and aerial displays whether these are in Pontianak or Phuket.
Members also routinely make long-range “makan missions” from their home base in Senai to Tioman, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Pangkor or Redang.
Flights have also been made to and around Australia.
Here are some pictures from our members of their activities.

Float above the land. Level with the eagle. Look down on a rainbow. Our members have gone from merely dreaming about it, to earning a licence to fly. Some have gone on to own their own planes. You can too. Stop dreaming. Start flying.
