Members like aircraft options! From the best in well-made Cessna aircraft to zippy light sport aircraft. All are well maintained and members find reserving both aircraft and instructors easy with our on-line, 24/7 Internet scheduling system.
Anytime (24/7) Access to Club Facilities
You and your passengers will never experience waiting in a car or finding a flight school door locked at TakeWING! Our Tarmac and Runway members received privileged anytime access to Club's facilities. Let your family or passengers relax and partake of our hospitality center (free soda, water, and snacks) while you plan your flight, preflight, or just hang out for a relaxing airport day. We also provide complimentary passenger headsets and handheld GPS units as part of your club benefits!
Events — Safety Meetings, Lectures, and “Carburetor” Coffee Sessions
Never a dull moment here! We have weekly, monthly, and quarterly aviation safety training sessions as well as other FUN social gatherings — and by the way, continuing education helps create better and safer pilots. Besides mandatory quarterly safety meetings, there are various summer flying challenges, a summer BBQ, Saturday morning “carburetor coffee” sessions — creating an atmosphere for both learning and social conviviality. It’s all part of our overall mission to “care for” and “protect” you.
Family Members Receive Special Treatment
Family members include your spouse, domestic partner, dogs, cats and kids. All human family members are welcome to come to our safety meetings and social gatherings.
We also provide complimentary right-seat companion seminars and introductory flights to partners and spouses of our pilot members.
Loyalty Rewards — We Appreciate YOU!
No gimmicks, just good old fashioned reward discounts to be used on aircraft rental, instruction, and products —over and above the benefits members already enjoy each and every month!
FAA Approved Full Motion RedBird Flight Simulator — Improves Safety
Need we say that practice makes perfect? And our Redbird flight simulator is no ordinary simulator!
The 200 degrees of wrap-around visuals include every airport in the United States. The visuals are so complete that you can see the ailerons move on the side screens as you do turns around a point, or watch the shadows change.
Fly "solo" to practice and maintain proficiency without your instructor anytime you want!
Training in Oregon can challenge your dedication and pocketbook. Inevitably you could experience the frustration and (higher cost) of canceled lessons due to fog, rain, snow, low ceilings or aircraft mechanical problems.
At TakeWING you don't have to let a day or week go by without practicing VFR or IFR maneuvers — Get in and strap it on with or without your instructor on good days and bad.
Aircraft Asset Management Services for Privately Owned Aircraft
We make aircraft ownership a lot easier!
This is what sets our premier Runway membership apart from our other membership levels. After you’ve owned an aircraft for a while the newness of doing all the “little” things like washing and cleaning, arranging for oil changes, timely updates of GPS systems, and so many other aircraft ownership chores start becoming little annoyances rather than part of the fun. That’s where we can help. Becoming a Runway member lets you take advantage of TakeWING’s aircraft asset management services, which include:
Concierge services — scheduled washing and cleaning of your aircraft and tracking and timely reminders of your aircraft’s time critical or periodic maintenance requirements.
Internet-based aircraft scheduling system — For co-owners and aircraft partnerships keeping track of who has the airplane on what day or weekend seems easy at first but life happens fast and quickly rearranging schedules or just getting the word out on the latest squawk can lead to frayed relationships or costly mistakes. We make it easy. By providing you with aircraft scheduling and reporting services, we enable you and your partners to schedule your aircraft from any internet-connected computer or Blackberry, post squawks, see maintenance issues immediately, and track aircraft servicing.
Marketing (leaseback) management services — If you own an aircraft or are considering ownership, you should consider getting the most out of your asset by renting it out to club members. Your aircraft can be working for you when you aren’t using it. Marketing management (previously called leaseback) gives you this opportunity. TakeWING’s members are not your average “rental” customers. We have very high “rental” and aircraft check-out standards — we give your aircraft precisely the level of care you and your asset deserve.
FAA Knowledge Testing Center—Discounts for Members
Club members receive discounts on all FAA tests.
Plus, FREE Practice on-line tests,
Weather Briefing Center
Get the latest weather before you fly.
Use our high-speed internet for weather-briefings for the latest current and forecast weather.
WiFi — Free wireless access is both a courtesy and necessity these days.
Weather Web Camera —a picture is worth a 1000 Flight Briefer's Words.
Our Creswell streaming video WebCam lets you see the runway north and south far better than a PIREP and much quicker than driving out for a look. If you know our weather and the local flight conditions, then you know it can be low fog and mist at KEUG while bright and sunny at Creswell or vice versa. No more wasted trips to the airport!
Members only login for camera's pan and tilt controls.
TakeWING’s On-Line Store
Purchase your gifts and aviation products from TakeWING’s secure on-line Fly N' Buy store. We have COOL pilot gear and gifts both new and used, get what you need while keeping your dollars in our local economy! 
Pilot Mentoring
All TakeWING members are mentors in one way or another to each other but each TakeWING pilot in training is assigned a club mentor to answer questions and to help keep your sprits up if the weather is down or you just hit a learning plateau!
Flight Cost Sharing with Other Pilot Members
These days sharing the cost of aircraft rental just makes sense — where else can you be assured that you’ll find pilots trained to the same set of high safety standards and willing to spilt the bill for a $100 hamburger flight too!
Is There Anything Else You Get with Your TakeWING Membership?
Excellent question!
A son told his mother she was paying $200 extra for her car from a dealership — She said, “I know that, dummy, but when I have a problem the dealership owner comes by to make it right.” The $200 was not for the car, it was for the care!
