The Crystalaire Airport, a soaring site since 1965, is home to the Southern California Soaring Academy. Offering rides, instruction, and sailplanes for rent, the facility provides an easy escape from the city for a chance to experience the San Gabriel mountains and the desert terrain as only soaring birds could see them in the past.
