Our Club:Located at Marshall Co. Airport (C75), in Lacon, Illinois, our club's goals are to provide opportunity for affordable flying and create a positive environment for general aviation. We have two airplanes, a Cessna 172 and a Piper Arrow. Both planes are IFR Certified and have built in VFR GPS. This is a great combination of economy and speed to meet the varying needs of our members. The club controls costs by limiting membership to 30 pilots. The limited membership also makes it easier to maintain the quality of our members and keep planes readily available. We enjoy a partnership with the FBO, Lacon Aero Service, which has staff available 7 days week to provide support for reservations as well as service needs. With volunteer labor and priority service from the FBO, our planes get a lot of attention and are maintained in excellent condition.

Marshall County Airport was recently named "Airport of the Year." It is one of the few airports left where you can drop in and find pilots in the lounge visiting and sharing in flying experiences. Even if you aren't a pilot, you'll feel welcome here. We enjoy a friendly atmosphere and encourage everyone to stop and visit.

If you are looking for a flying destination where you can drop in and experience flying fellowship, Marshall Co. Airport is the place. There are two courtesy cars and several restaurants within a few minutes of the airport.
