Antelope Valley
Soaring Club (AVSC) is located in Adelanto, California. Adelanto
is less than a 2 hour drive from most Los Angeles and Inland Empire cities.
The Club was established
in 1955. Originally located at the old El Mirage airfield, in
1988 El Mirage field was closed, so the AVSC moved to Krey Field.
Krey Field is located only a few miles away from El Mirage dry lake.
AVSC is a charter
member of the Soaring Society of America. We are a non-profit organization.
The main objective
of the AVSC is to promote and encourage the act of motorless flight.
Promotion of soaring excellence is enhanced by the benefits of having
good equipment, great planes, and a fine location.
The club offers
five planes - (1) Schweizer 2-32 (2 place), (2) Schweizer 1-26 E, (1) Schweitzer 1-34 and
a Blanik L-13 (2 place). These planes are all flight-line ready
and free of rental costs to all club members. Parachutes and other
equipment are also free of fees to club members.
Club membership
is limited to 60 active members. Low membership numbers mean high
availability of the ships and equipment. We currently have active
memberships available.
AVSC
has its own resident CFI Instructor, and its own FAA Designated
Examiner, the only examiner for gliders available in San Bernardino County.
Come on out, learn to fly, and get your license. It's that simple! Flying
lessons are available on most weekends. Also available is
a flight check pilot for those people needing current flight standings.
Come on in and see us.
If you'd like to
join, come on out to the field, meet and greet, fly with Gene (our CFIG)
and let's get acquainted! If you're right for the Club, and the Club's
right for you, then fill out an application (right click and select Save Target As), and bring it to the next meeting.
Currently Krey
Field has operations on Friday, Saturday, and some summer Sundays.
If you are looking
for a well established, quality soaring club with excellent flying conditions,
four planes, pilot training, un-crowded skies, and plain old good times,
come by and join us at the Antelope Valley Soaring Club.
