Short Wing Piper Club Chapters

Chapters

Local chapters

We have chapters throughout the United States and three in Canada. These chapters provide technical help and information, as well as regular meetings that provide a good excuse to fly and have a good time. Business meetings are short and sometimes there are worthwhile programs. The goal is Fun, Food, Friendship and Flying. If there is no chapter in your area and you would like to start one, or to correct your contact information, contact the SWPC Chapter Coordinator, Lew Porter, 602 Wilton Road, Towson, MD 21286, 410-823-2521. Please feel free to contact any of those people listed below if you would like information about membership in a local chapter or for help with your questions.

The following list identifies chapters by name and shows contact information for the chapter president. The states shown in italics, are followed by the names of chapters serving that geographical area. To e-mail a chapter president, simply click on an underlined president's name. Likewise, an underlined chapter name identifies it as a link to that chapter's website offering more information on the chapter.
