Both airports have commercial power and glider operations for rides and instruction. Blairstown airport is 5 miles from the scenic Delaware Water Gap . It's an easy jump to hundreds of miles of beautiful, rolling ridges in Pennsylvania. A few 1000k flights have started and finished from here, as well a countless hours of local ridge flying within sight of the field. The prevailing winds are Northwest, which is ideal for thermal, wave and ridge flying.
Somerset airport is nestled among thoroughbred horse farms and farmer's fields.
Great for thermals. From 2000 feet there's a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline. Many of our pilots have done their silver distance flight just flying between the two airports. We fly off grass runways at both fields. Our club is open to licensed glider pilots as flying members and non-licensed folks as associate members.
