Louisville Area Soaring Society

The Louisville Area Soaring Society has existed for well over 50 years, and has been flying out of Charlie Vettiner Park for the vast majority of that time. The Louisville Area Soaring Society had its 25th anniversary as a sanctioned AMA Club in 2015. Our AMA Sactioned Club Flying site is located at Charlie Vettiner Park and is the only sanctioned RC-Sailplane-Only public PARK flying site in all of Kentucky. While membership ebbs and flows like many clubs, it is important to note that this sailplane site (Charlie Vettiner Park) has produced some of the most outstanding RC sailplane competition pilots in the country. We are an Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) sanctioned club with strong ties to the League of Silent Flight, the pre-eminent model soaring organization in the United States. Due to park regulations and neighbor concerns, we cannot and do not fly electric or gas “powered” models at the Charlie Vettiner Park field.
