The Patuxent River Navy Flying Club (PRNFC) was a recreational and instructional flying organization based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, USA. Membership was open to all active duty, reserve, and retired military, Civil Air Patrol, civil servants, DoD contractors, and their immediate families. The objective of PRNFC was to provide an off-duty, voluntary educational opportunity for base personnel to develop skills in aeronautics including piloting, navigation, mechanics, and other related aero sciences. We enabled naval aviators to maintain their pilot proficiency while assigned to non-flying billets as well as to encouraged an awareness and appreciation of general aviation. We aimed to provide low-cost, safe, light aircraft operations, and a social program to promote club activities and morale.
