Antelope Valley Soaring Club (AVSC) is located at Krey Field in Adelanto, California.  Krey is about a 90 minute drive from most northern Los Angeles and Inland Empire cities.

The Club was established in 1955.  Originally located at the old El Mirage airfield, the club moved to nearby Krey Field shortly after El Mirage closed in the mid 80's.  Krey Field is located only a few miles away from the famous soaring conditions of 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 having good aircraft and equipment, and a fine location.

The club offers four gliders - (1) Schweizer 2-32 (2 place), (1) 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.  Use of parachutes and other equipment are also free 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 Glider Flight Instructors (CFI-G), and its own FAA Designated Examiner, the only examiner for gliders in San Bernardino County.  Come on out, join the club, learn to fly, and get your license. It's that simple! Flying lessons are available on most weekends.   Also available are club check pilots for those people who are already pilots, but have not flown in a while.

If you'd like to join, come on out to the field, meet and greet with our members. 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 regular operations on Fridays and Saturdays, but will open any day by prior appointment..

If you are looking for a well established, quality soaring club with excellent flying conditions, un-crowded skies, and plain old good times, come by and see us at the Antelope Valley Soaring Club.
