Come out to Strawberry Lakes and enjoy a day of soaring activities. Learn about flight, lift, thermals, launching, and our organization. Top it off by taking a flight with one of our highly qualified pilots and soar with the birds. The cost of the flight covers only the operational costs, the pilots time is offered as a free service. The cost is $65.00 for Adults and $55.00 for students. We also have nicely printed Gift Certificates available that make the perfect Birthday or Anniversary present.
To help give future pilots a better feel of what training will be like we came up with a specially priced instructional package with 2 flavors. You can go for 3 instruction flights ($130.00) and learn the basics of coordinated turns, instruments, and basic circuit planning. Sign up for the 6 instructional flight package ($245.00) which includes everything in the 3 flight package plus learn more advanced maneuvers like a stall and how thermalling works. Also start to take control while on tow to practice the takeoff.
