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.
