Santa Barbara Soaring is pleased to announce their celebration of two years in operation, and an invitation to the public to come fly with us at the Santa Ynez Airport over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Towing service will be available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (27-29 Nov).. This is a seasonally good period for soaring weather, with cold fronts bringing ridge, wave and thermal soaring to our picturesque valley. The last couple of year's events have seen good soaring enjoyed by about thirty pilots over three days. Our rates are among the lowest for tows, and we'll have two tow planes available!
The surrounding communities offer alternate recreation for pilots and family members, with shopping available in Solvang for arts, antiques, crafts, and wine tasting. There are several wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley and cultural events appealing to all tastes. Biking, hiking, or loafing in the myriad hotels and the variety of restaurants can fit any budget for a short getaway. This is a chance to justify breaking away from televised sports and embedded relatives, and bring the 'other-half' along for a socially-rewarding soaring weekend.
But, make your plans NOW as this is a tourist destination and last minute plans may leave you camping on the airport.
SBS will be cooking their traditional tri-tip barbeque for Saturday evening.. Flyers and non-flyers are welcome to participate and slobber on some Santa Maria style beef, or chicken, green salad, garlic bread and baked beans. Dessert will offer the traditional - pumpkin pie with trimmings and much more. RSVP please to ....
Santa Barbara Soaring would like to thank the Southern California soaring community for supporting us in our first two years of flying. Please come help us celebrate!
