Bell Ornithopters

Who we Are

We are a private club comprised of aviation enthusiasts who share a love of flying.  As members, we own, care for and enjoy two hangared IFR-equipped Cessna 172M aircraft based at KBJC/Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.  We enjoy some of the lowest hourly rates of any club in the metro area.  Our planes are meticulously maintained and have the latest avionics.

About our Club

The Bell Ornithopters Flying Club, Inc. was established in September 1974 with employees from then Western Electric and Mountain Bell.  Later that same year it was expanded to include all Bell System employees.  With the breakup of the Bell System the Club is now generally open to all prospective members that have a special interest in general aviation.  The current membership is approximately 50 active pilots.

The Club owns two IFR equipped Cessna 172 aircraft, which are hangared at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport northwest of Denver.

The purpose of the Club – a nonprofit incorporated club with the State of Colorado – is to promote general aviation and provide low cost flying to Club members and their families.  We are not a flight school nor an airplane rental organization; we are all committed to sharing responsibility for owning and operating our aircraft.

Activities​

The Club activities include, but not limited to: fly-ins, picnics, airport open house, holiday dinner meetings, general meetings, spring and fall plane wash, etc.

Eligibility

Pilots interested in flying our aircraft for personal enjoyment are generally welcome. Flying benefits extend to qualified family members living at home, and we also include a limited number of student pilots in our membership.
