Aero Club Albatross

Aero Club Albatross Aero Club Albatross (ACA) is a flying club for glider pilots. We fly year-round from Blairstown Airport (1N7) in Blairstown, New Jersey and Wurtsboro NY.

We have access to hundreds of miles of beautiful, rolling ridges, that stretch across Pennsylvania and beyond. Every year, we typically will have a number of 1000 kilometer soaring flights that start and finish here, as well as countless hours of local ridge flying within sight of the field. Due to the hilly terrain and nearby plateau, thermals tend to be fairly reliable for most of the season. We

occasionally achieve climbs to 9,000 feet in thermals or 12,000 feet or more in wave lift. On clear visibility days and with enough altitude, our flyers can see the Catskill Mountains, the Hudson River, and the skyline of New York City. Blairstown Airport (1N7) has commercial power plane and glider/sailplane operations for rides, instruction, and tows. Weather permitting, tows are available 7 days a week. Contact Jersey Ridge Soaring for Glider Rides, Glider Instruction, and Glider Tows at Blairstown Airport. We fly our gliders from 1N7's grass runway. Aero Club Albatross owns 6 sailplanes. We have a 2 seat Grob G103 Twin Astir, a Rolladen-Schneider LS-3, a Rolladen-Schneider LS-4, 2 Schweizer 1-26's, 2 Schweizer 1-34's, and a Schweizer 2-33.
