Our Story
Come and Fly with Us!
We operate from the iconic Sportavia hangar, along with a large hard stand area for tying down gliders with over 300 metres of steel cable fixed in position along with water filling points. Hangar positions can be requested.
We have 3 x Callair tow planes available for launching at competitive rates. Aero tow retrieves are preferred, however trailer retrieves can be arranged.
The aim is to provide affordable and accessible gliders to glider pilots from all over the world.
Accommodation facilities are available in town, ranging from backpackers and hotels to houses if required.
