The '''Bombay Flying Club''' is the oldest [[flying club]] in [[India]].<br />
It is located at the [[Juhu aerodrome]], [[Bombay]] (Mumbai).<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay Flying Club to open up the skies |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2003-12-25/mumbai/27190104_1_bombay-flying-club-new-aviation-policy-aai |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811072801/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2003-12-25/mumbai/27190104_1_bombay-flying-club-new-aviation-policy-aai |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 August 2011 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=25 December 2003 |accessdate=12 June 2010 }}</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Bombay Flying Club was incorporated on 29 May 1928, and commenced instructions on 13 January 1929 when they received their first two [[De Havilland Moth]] aircraft, presented to them by the Government of India. A third aircraft, A D.H. Moth (Gipsy) was won by the Club as prize offered by Sir Charles Wakefield to the first Indian flying club which should turn out 12 qualified pilots, of whom at least six were to be Indians.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay Flying Club "At Home" |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1930/untitled0%20-%200199.html |work=[[Flight Global]] |date=7 February 1930 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> The Club used these aircraft for tuition, joy-rides, and air travel. The activities of the club were, unfortunately, limited by the fact that the aerodrome at Juhu was not suitable during the monsoon.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay Flying Club First Annual Report |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1929/1929-1%20-%200670.html |work=[[Flight Global]] |date=1 August 1929 |accessdate=16 September 2011}}</ref> This problem was solved by 1937.<ref>{{cite news |title=Juhu Improvements |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1937/1937%20-%202980.html |work=[[Flight Global]] |date=28 October 1937 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> The Club received its licence to build a hangar and garages at the aerodrome on 17 August 1931.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay Flying club moves court against AAI order |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-04-03/mumbai/31280833_1_bombay-flying-club-aai-airports-authority |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710122922/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-04-03/mumbai/31280833_1_bombay-flying-club-aai-airports-authority |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 July 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=3 April 2012 |accessdate=24 April 2012 }}</ref><br />
<br />
[[JRD Tata]], the father of Indian [[civil aviation]], who received India's first pilot licence, trained at this club in 1929. Lady Dinshaw Petit, his sister, became the first lady to obtain a pilot licence in India.<ref><br />

<br />
==Current Status==<br />
It currently owns one [[Cessna 152 Aerobat]], five [[Cessna 172]] of which one is equipped with Garmin 1000 Glass cockpit, a twin engine [[Piper PA-34 Seneca]] and one [[Piper Super Cub]] PA-18.<br />
The Club shifted part of its Training operations to [[Dhule Airport]] near the town of [[Dhule]] in 2009 to avoid the congested air-space of Mumbai. The Club leased the airstrip from the [[Maharashtra Airport Development Company]] in order to carry out its training activities without any restrictions.<ref>{{cite news |title=Busy city skies push flying club to Dhule |url=http://www1.lite.epaper.timesofindia.com/mobile.aspx?article=yes&pageid=9&sectid=edid=&edlabel=TOIM&mydateHid=24-05-2010&pubname=Times+of+India+-+Mumbai&edname=&articleid=Ar00900& |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=24 May 2010 |accessdate=2 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516155717/http://www1.lite.epaper.timesofindia.com/mobile.aspx?article=yes&pageid=9&sectid=edid=&edlabel=TOIM&mydateHid=24-05-2010&pubname=Times+of+India+-+Mumbai&edname=&articleid=Ar00900& |archive-date=16 May 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
