About us

Where the sky begins

We are a flying club on a grass airfield beneath the Tatras. We fly gliders and powered aircraft, skydive and train new pilots. We look after the airfield and the aircraft together.

“One day you hold a friend’s wing at launch, the next you’re the one in the cockpit.”
