At least one weekend a year the Friends of Pacific City State Airport board holds a work party to maintain and improve the airport. Volunteers from near and far come and pick up a rake, a weed whacker, or a paint brush. Volunteers typically receive a t-shirt, snacks and lunch for their time and effort.
Whatever needs to be done our awesome volunteers handle it. Here are pictures of prior work parties showing what gets done:
Please contact us if you'd like to join a future work party. Use this Contact Us page or email us at friendsofpacificcityairport@gmail.com. Volunteers need to fill out forms for the State of Oregon, too.
The Friends hold monthly board meetings. Board meetings are held at the home or hangar of a Board member. To attend a meeting email us at friendsofpacificcityairport@gmail.com

Contact the Oregon Department of Aviation, tell them how you value the airport, and ask that they continue to dedicate SOAR grant funds to Pacific City State Airport to improve the airport, including the recently purchased property providing public access to the airstrip. SOAR funds come from aviation fuel taxes, and airports like KPFC are what these tax dollars are for.

The Friends of Pacific City State Airport is a 501(c)(3) organization. Help us out with a donation. For example, make a $20 donation and receive a "Supporter" decal to hang on your home, auto, or airplane window, or add it to your aviation decal collection in your hangar. While we prefer a donation made via a check (no online processing fees for us) we want to make donating easy for you.
We welcome donations made via the links below:

Borrow an airport bicycle and leave a donation at the airport to help us maintain and purchase bicycles of all sizes.
Help us to cover our costs to maintain and improve the airport as an all-volunteer organization. Here are a few of capital improvements that individuals, businesses, clubs and organizations can support with a donation:
Larger bike shed - a Tillamook PUD grant provided the funds to purchase a small bike shed that holds 6 bicycles. We'd love to replace it with a large shed that can hold at least a dozen bicycles. We could also use more bicycles and helmets.
Benches for the picnic area
Information Sign - there's a small information sign near the pilot sign-in box. We'd like to add a larger information kiosk near the restrooms.
We have been honored to receive donations in memory of pilots Bob Rissel, Dick Foreman and Tom Pileggi. Consider a donation to honor the passing of a loved one or friend. You can also make a gift in honor of a pilot who values and supports the unique coastal airport in Pacific City.
Help Friends of KPFC to present flight training scholarships to youth in Tillamook County. The flight training program is coordinated by the Tillamook County Civil Air Patrol.
Our nonprofit organization buys many of the supplies to stock and clean the 2 toilets at the airport. Our volunteers regularly service the bicycles made available to visiting pilots. Friends of KPFC hosts an annual work party to maintain and improve the airport. A donation to our general fund helps to cover some of these necessary costs. All donations are greatly appreciated. We hope to some day host "fish fry" events, like in the past, as a way to raise funds to improve our airport. Let us know if you'd like an invitation!
If you have any questions about ways to support Friends of KPFC with a donation, please contact us via the Contact Us page on this website or email us directly at: friendsofpacificcityairport@gmail.com.
