Join the So. Ca. Douglas Soaring club *http://www.netmeister.net/~scdsa/
( about $300 initial fee, about $55 monthly dues and unlimited use of
their gliders). Get unparalleled, intense instruction from Caracole
Soaring at California City
OR; Join the Antelope Valley Soaring Clubhttp://www.soarav.com/* I think
$300 initiation fee and about $25 monthly dues unlimited use of the
gliders). They are located at Krey Field near the El Mirage area.
Instruction also available. The best club atmosphere, very friendly, good
soaring.

I live in the Los Angeles area, have a private pilots license and I
want to earn my soaring stamp or whatever it's called. *Can anyone
recommend a soaring club? * I looked at Great Western Soaring in
Llana, CA. *It's a great place to fly, Fred Robinson is a special
person, but I don't think they have enough instructors. * * I'm also
thinking about clubs at Lake Elsinore.


Any and all help will be appreciated.

I'm slightly biased since my father joined the AVSC back in the
fifties, and my brother, sister and I are all members, but my opinion
is that you should definately check out our club. We fly from Krey
Field, just a couple miles south of the historic El Mirage Airport. We
soar the local shealine thermals year round. The tows are about half
the price of most operations. The instructors work for themselves, not
the owner operator, and their fees are so low that you won't believe
it at first. We also have a resident examiner. We're definately not
everybodies cup of tea, but we like it and love to meet new folks, so
come and say hi at least.
