Come Out and Fly Weeks: May 11-15, Jul 6-10, Aug 10-14, 2026
Due to (no kidding) popular demand we're happy to announce 3 come out and fly weeks. This is intended as a non-curated week for members who are familiar with ASI to come out and enjoy a week of great flying, with tow pilots scheduled all week. Otherwise, you'll be assisting one another with golf cart tows, emptying the garbage, and behaving like the place is yours. Which basically it is.
If you're unfamiliar or not current, please reach out to a local instructor or your club.
Please use the ops calendar to let us know your intentions. Caveats: if you're sharing a glider or a 2-place, be sure there's one sign up per glider flight day. Also, if folks are planning instruction or orientations with multiple planned flights, reach out to me back channel so we can be sure the duty tow pilot has an on-site relief pilot, as compared to on-call backup.
