About Leading Edge Flying Club
Leading Edge Flying Club was formed in 2006, because a group of 7 pilots wanted to have more social experience tied to our love of aviation. Word of mouth spread quickly as LEFC earned a reputation for being one of the most exciting and active flying clubs in the Chicagoland area. Based out of Chicago Executive Airport (PWK), we enjoy monthly aviation breakfast meetings, training sessions, occassional flyouts and periodic “PNO” (Pilot’s Night Out) or “Dog Day Afternoon” hot dog socials. In other words, there are plenty of opportunities to log “hangar flying” hours.
Although some of our members have chosen to buy into their own aircraft, many of our ~100 members enjoy exclusive access to our glass cockpit Piper Archer III. Besides access to a great airplane(s), our members also enjoy free access to our FLYTHISSIM Simulator, a library of educational reference material, Wifi, TV, and an awesome view of our hangar and the airport environment.
Come for the planes… Stay for the people. Or as we say, GREAT PLANES… GREAT PEOPLE!
Why We Love Aviation
Pilots are a close knit community. The word community is made up of two root words, COMMON UNITY. Our common unity is a love of aviation. If you’re not sure if you have that same “spark” or just are not sure about the aviation experience, watch the below video and then give us a call to answer any questions you may have.

Our Fleet
Many of our members fly their own aircraft. For those looking for an aircraft rental, we have a 2004 Glass Panel Piper Archer. We are in the process of adding an additional aircraft and will update the website when the aircraft becomes available.
