About
One of the largest and most active soaring clubs in the USA. The private, 90-acre facility houses our club house, single- and two-seat club aircraft, three Pawnee tow planes, hangars, groundskeeping equipment and even affords members the ability to build their own hangar on club property. We’re proud members of the Soaring Society of America and provide year-round flying to allow our members to learn to fly and remain safe and proficient. Our cadre of CFI-G instructors are available to provide training for those serious about earning their glider rating, keeping current and improving their skills. We have one of the most active cross-country training and coaching programs in the USA and as a result, lead the OLC Championship each year.
