Membership is open to anyone interested in soaring and willing to participate in the volunteer operation of the club. We have a fleet of 5 gliders and 2 towplanes, along with about 8 privately-owned aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We love it when we can help people realize their dream to fly.<\/strong>&nbsp;That&#8217;s why we have some of the best and most creative people in aviation on hand to help you fulfill your goal. Go to the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/wordpress\/membership\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Membership<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;section of the site to get more details on membership types and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club operates from the Dansville Airport, which is approximately 50 miles south of Rochester. Our flying activities begin in early April and extend through November. Weather permitting, flight operations occur on weekends and holidays during these months, with impromptu operations on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From April through October there is usually someone available at the airport each Saturday and Sunday between 9 AM and 5 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FLSC is a not-for-profit organization, formed to promote the sport of soaring. The club was founded in 1949 by 10 pilots living in Rochester, NY. Five years later the club moved to Batavia to provide better accessibility to Buffalo-based members. In 1963 the club moved to its current location in Dansville, NY and changed its name to Finger Lakes Soaring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-left:10px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-raft-accent-color has-text-color\"><strong>Quick Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:contact@flsc.org?subject=%27Info%20on%20FLSC%20Soaring%27\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Email our club<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;for info on membership or to schedule a ride<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call us anytime at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"tel: 5853355849\" data-type=\"tel\" data-id=\"tel: 5853355849\">(585) 335-5849<\/a><\/span> and please leave a message; messages are checked on a regular basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ssa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Soaring Society of America<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.org\/junior-soaring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juniors Soaring Info<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-raft-accent-color has-text-color\"><strong>FLSC DSW Web Cam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay loop poster=\"http:\/\/flsc.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dummy.jpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/flsc.org\/WebCam.php\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a larger image&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/flsc.org\/WebCam.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">click here<\/span><\/a>.
