Apple Valley
California

Apple Valley is located north east of Los Angeles Next to Victorville.
Located in the high desert, this site makes for great thermal flying.
Our current President Stan Sadorf lives in the area. He can be seen at
the field most weekends with other local scale flyers doing aerotow
and winch launching. If you would like to join the activities give Stan a
call, or send an E mail (see the members page).

"Lots of room".
Clear skies in the
early morning.

A little detail
can go a long way.
