Come on out and have a great time with us!
Welcome To The American Turf Flyers Website!

The American Turf Flyers, Inc. (ATF) is a charter club (#1599) of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. We were organized in 1981. In the fall of 1990 we moved to our current home, ten acres of farmland East of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Nine years later we paid off the mortgage and now completely own our facility. We also own the water line that services our facility. In addition, we lease an additional ten acres, five each on the North and South ends, to provide for longer-than-normal landing activities.

Fitzgerald Field (named after the club president at the time the land was purchased) is located 8 miles East of County Line Road in Broken Arrow, Ok. To get to Fitzgerald Field, take 71st (Kenosha Ave.) East from County Line Road and turn North (left) at Hansen Road. Hansen road will be 1 mile east of the stop sign at Coweta Road. Hansen road is gravel. Go North on Hansen road for ½ mile and our facility will be on your right (East side).

NEXT CLUB MEETING
Sunday, February 14, 2:00PM

Our facility features a 400-foot north/south asphalt runway, a 600-foot parallel grass runway, paved taxiways and paved start-up areas with hold-downs. Ample covered shelter area is provided along with a fully equipped heated and air-conditioned club house with both men’s and women’s restrooms. Drinking water, electricity, refrigerator and pop machine are provided and the clubhouse has a small kitchen. Two concrete heli-pads are located at the North and South ends of the pit areas for helicopters/turbines or engine tuning and work. There is also a large concrete pad with taxiway for large scale aircraft or jets. There are ample electrical connections in the shelter areas for chargers, etc. There are no trees, houses, hills, highways, etc., in the proximity nor are we in the controlled airspace of any airport.

We have club instructors and club trainer aircraft with buddy-box setups so that persons new to the hobby can get started and achieve a comfortable skill level before attempting to fly their own aircraft.

The flying tends to be somewhat “laid back” and new flyers and those undergoing training are allowed to fly without having to worry about being pressured by a sky full of different aircraft flying in different directions.
