We welcome your interest in SKY SAILING, INC. at the Warner Springs Airport and in the world of soaring. Since 1959 we have been the world leaders in the sport of soaring and training.

We are one of the largest soaring centers in the U.S. We are very proud of our operation and strive to make your adventure not only memorable but the best in entertainment.

We hope you enjoy our friendly and easy going atmosphere.

The sport of soaring is flying in sailplanes. Sailplanes are often called gliders. Soaring is a thrilling yet peaceful sport which can involve the whole family. Soaring is a tremendous youth activity: it involves the youth in a sport which is both exciting and character building.

Soaring requires dedication to learning and advancing. It develops good attitudes and builds respect which remains and applies to other areas (i.e. driving and a more positive attitude towards life). You can solo at age 14!

Soaring is freedom.

Soaring is fun, it is relaxing, safe, and reduces daily stress!

Sky Sailing, Inc at the Warner Springs Airport is midway between Palm Springs and San Diego, east of the Palomar Observatory. Enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Henshaw, the beautiful San Jose Valley and surrounding mountains, including Hot Springs Peak and the Palomar Mountains.

Learning to fly in sailplanes is by far the safest and best way to learn the basics of flight. Even the U.S. Air Force Academy does its primary instruction in sailplanes. Our great year round weather is particularly well suited for student instruction. Soar over one of the most beautiful recreational areas in the world.
