Southern California Soaring Academy
Southern California Soaring Academy Review
The academy operates sailplane rides (no engines!) over the scenic San Gabriel mountain pines, across the jagged San Andreas Fault, and over the sandy soil of El Mirage Dry Lake. Accompanied by a certified instructor, you'll learn the basics before handling the craft on your own. Reservations are required.
