Thanet Flying Club is the home of quality flying training in the S.E. of England.

TG Aviation are the owners of TFC having bought the club way back in 1992. Christmas Eve.

Ex P u/t's are now flying the big and not so big, but very fast aircraft. Captains on AIRBUS A340, DC10, Biz Jets, First Officers everywhere, and not least Red Arrows Pilots and the latest Typhoon.

Enquiries for Private Pilot training and the first step to Commercial Flying, contact TG Aviation Direct.

Or phone +44(0)1843 823 656. Web site is www.tgaviation.com

All that is just great, but here at Manston now we have to maintain the Club, provide a bit of social activity, provide a bit of back up to the training and PPL flying.

This site, I hope goes someway towards those aims. There are 'clickable links' to the first requirements of successful flight, like weather and notam and a lead to 'events' and newsletter.

One of the things we always appreciate is a little input from our members. Help your committee!!

If you would like to just email a suggestion perhaps, any comment, a single word would suffice to engender an idea. Anon., if you like.

You might also like to tell/or ask us about flying. If it is a question then I will get you an authentic answer, and ask you if I can publish on this site.
