Small is BIG—Yes, we do operate out of a smaller "non-towered" airport near Eugene. That's so we can get you in the air and learning quickly with less of your money spent in "taxi time." But don't be fooled by the small airport size, Creswell Airport is actually one of the busiest non-towered airports in Oregon. And, since we are just a short hop away from the Eugene Airport, you'll be learning to talk confidently to ATC sooner than you think!

TakeWING Aviation Club — What Do I Get For My TakeWING Membership?

Excellent question!

A son told an elderly mother she was paying $200 extra for her car from a dealership — She said, “I know that, dummy, but when I have a problem the dealership owner comes by to make it right.” The $200 was not for the car, it was for the care.

Our job is to provide not just a service but also a spiritual infusion of warmth and hospitality in a culture of trust for both our members and employees.

TakeWING is a diverse group of aviation minded people (plus a few dogs and cats). As your aviation club, we become your connection to the sky, to your fellow aviators, and to valuable services and resources.
