After a year of preparations and hard work we are proud to present the results to the public. We built Australia‘s longest glider hangar and pilots already flew record distances from our centre. Enjoy a relaxed Sunday with BBQ and German delicatessen, learn about soaring and chat with pilots. Watch the aerobatic displays or fly with one of our instructors.
We are looking forward to see you!
Welcome to Fly Down-Under - your travel agent for soaring in Australia.
Have you ever been frustrated by bad or unsuitable flying conditions in the European winter season? Haven't you ever thought of escaping the beastly weather for several weeks?
Of course you have! - but after the first thoughts you may ask yourself some inconvenient questions:
• Can I afford this?
• How can I involve my partner or family into my plans?
• How will I get along in a foreign country?
The answer is easy: Yes!
You'll find that gliding in Australia is more favourable than you may have expected.
In the last few years, a soaring holiday in Africa, mostly Namibia or South Africa, has become very popular. The main argument is that the journey from Europe involves only short travel times. It's hard to disagree about this.
South Australia offers a steady political situation, no malaria hazard, good national and international flight connections, a well looked-after road network, European standards in all fields, a good health system, broad mobile phone coverage (important for outlandings), a landscape all safe for outlandings, attractions & activities also for non-pilots - all this in a country with a population of throughout friendly and helpful people.
Discover the fascination of Soaring in Australia with us. Explore the never-ending diversity of the country. Experience the infinite hospitality and heartiness of the locals.

Feel the history-related flair of these immigrants: Buildings and churches in German architectural style, towns´ names like Seppeltsfield, Steinfeld, Hahndorf or Lobethal remind of these long passed times.
