About The Club

The San Diego Aerobatic Club was founded in the 1970s.  As the name suggests, original members were drawn from the extreme southern end of California.  Since that time, the club footprint has gradually expanded north drawing many active members from all over Southern California and beyond.

 

During the 1980's, the club formally relocated to the community airport of Ramona, CA.  Monthly meetings took place at that location until the air traffic control tower was commissioned in 2003.  The coming of the control tower and the controlled airspace forced an end to the club's customary practice and critiquing sessions north of the airport.

 

Most meetings are now held in Borrego Springs at Borrego Valley Airport where the club has a waivered practice box.  Be sure to familiarize yourself with the Borrego Box if you plan to practice or compete in Borrego Springs.

 

Club Activities

The club hosts two regional contests at the Borrego Valley Airport: one in the Spring and the second in the Fall.  The spring event is a "mini" contest, featuring Primary and Sportsman categories exclusively.  This contest is designed to attract and support pilots at the start of their aerobatic careers.  The fall contest is a full five Category event: Primary, Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimited. 

 

Between contests, club members get together for "flying meetings" and mutual admiration on the second Saturday of each month (usually at the Borrego Valley airport).  Additional formal critique and coaching sessions are scheduled periodically throughout the year.  Aside from the formal contests and the informal Saturday flying sessions, the club plans to have other events as well.   Be sure to consult the event calendar for event dates and times. 

Club Administration

Business meetings are conducted by the club Directors on a monthly basis.  All club members are invited to attend and participate.
