Southern California Soaring Academy

Our Puchacz will be back on the flight line this week after some TLC in the shop, the Schweizer 2-32 is all set for giving double rides, and our two new ASK 21s will be shipping soon.   We’ll see them in the air in January!

We’ve acquired a pristine Schweizer 2-32 (the only glider ever built to carry three people) that was stored in a hangar for thirty years and had only 150 hours on it when we took possession.   Great for spin training (and wave), it’ll rent for $52 per hour.   Call or self-schedule for a checkout soon!   Also, don’t forget, when they forecast rain for LA it usually means good wave soaring up here at Crystal…

We had another free day for wounded soldiers back from Iraq and Afghanistan, and it worked out even better than before.   Not everyone gets to enjoy a wave flight on their first glider ride, but all of these folks did (plus good food and even better conversation).

Our next free day for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan is coming this Thursday, Nov 3.   This event has been a wonderful success in the past, for everyone involved.   If you’d like to volunteer let us know soon.
