​SINCE 1938
THE PREMIER FLYING CLUB IN THE U.S. LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST at N12 AIRPORT in Lakewood, NJ.
Established in 1938, the Jersey Aero Club (JAC) is New Jersey’s oldest active flying club and the third oldest in the United States. Centrally located at Lakewood Airport (N12), JAC is a thriving community of aviators and aviation enthusiasts, ranging from student pilots to experienced professionals.
As a member-driven organization, we are dedicated to fostering general aviation through training, education, networking, and advocacy. Our members enjoy access to a fleet of six well-maintained aircraft, along with opportunities to enhance their skills, share knowledge, and connect with others who share a passion for flight.
Why Fly with JAC?
As a Member, You’re More Than Just a Pilot—You’re an Aircraft Owner
JAC members don’t just rent planes—they own a share in the fleet. That means exclusive access to six well-maintained aircraft at some of the lowest rates in New Jersey.
A Fleet for Every Kind of Pilot

The Best Rates in New Jersey
We’ve done the math, and our hourly rates and initiation fees are the lowest in the state. How? We keep costs down by maintaining our planes proactively, preventing costly repairs down the line.
More Than a Club—A Flying Community
Aviation isn’t just a hobby—it’s a passion. Instead of overwhelming your friends and family with "plane talk," join a community of like-minded aviation enthusiasts who share your love of flying. Swap stories, trade tips, plan trips, and be part of something bigger.
