Ever wondered how to become a pilot? Come join the MIT Flying Club to learn how!

You’ll have the opportunity to learn the Federal requirements for a pilot’s license, learn about training opportunities in Boston and around the country, and ask any questions you might have. **Plus, we will be raffling off a FREE introductory flight lesson — a $200 value!**
