About Sky Sailing -

As Southern California’s Premier Sailplane destination, Sky Sailing offers rides of one or two passengers, instruction in the art of Soaring, and a place for the Glider community to meet and practice their sport. Soaring is the flight of a sailplane or glider, by using the energy produced by gliding along on the air-currents, much like a powered airplane. Learning to soar in a sailplane is the best way to begin to learn to fly.

In operation since 1959, Sky Sailing is a world leader in the Sport of Soaring. Having pilots that feature their skill in the Miramar Air show each year, as well as being the home to two National Champions. Garret and Boyd Willat have each claimed trophies in National competitions.

Located in beautiful Warner Springs, California, Sky Sailing rides offer beautiful views of the Palomar Observatory, Warner Springs Ranch, Lake Henshaw, and the desert flowers which bloom each spring near the edge of Borrego Springs.
