We fly from several locations. These include two commercial operations close to Phoenix, Turf Soaring and Estrella Sailport , and the private Tucson Soaring Club , as well as airports in Sedona and Prescott. During our active race schedule, we also fly from Willcox and Bisbee. Many pilots own their own sailplanes, but ASA members can also fly our two club sailplanes. After learning the basics of soaring, many pilots fly 'cross-country', which means going beyond simple gliding distance from the airport.
Some pilots fly aerobatics.
And others stay closer in the the airport, or give rides to friends in 2-place sailplanes. Many of our pilots fly in both our Arizona competition series and regional, national and even international contests. All rights reserved.
