- The club is all about
sharing the
fun of flying gliders with
friends and family. We sponsor planned social events throughout the year but every day provides an opportunity to participate in the sport - and build friendships in the process!
-
Location.
Wouldn't you rather be flying than
driving? Our private field is only 45 minutes northwest of
Chicago on Interstate 90 (see
map).
- The club
has nine FAA certified flight instructors and fifteen tow pilots.
- Members have free use
of the club's five gliders. No rental fees!
- Members who want to take a check-ride test invite an FAA Flight Examiner to the field for licensing check rides.
- Sky
Soaring has a 2,600 ft. grass runway, a hangar,
pilot's club room, and free tie-down and trailer space for
privately owned gliders.
- Safety first. Our airport is privately owned
and is not a busy commercial operation. It has
no pattern congestion with power planes
and no air space intrusion by sport parachutists.
