Situated on the northern side of the Magalies Mountain Range, just off the R512 rout to Brits.
Aviators Paradise has proven it’s self over the past 3 years to be one of the finest hang gliding
establishments in South Africa.  


Three years ago we were invited by Piet Smit and Dale De klerk to move our operation to their
newly purchased airfield. At that stage the runway was still gravel but they soon got the go ahead
from the bank manager and the runway was tarred. Very soon afterwards a club house with a fully
stocked bar, wide screen TV supporting DSTV and a swimming pool was at our disposal.  
 
Wow what a place, we were free from the hassle of driving up mountains.  We now use a Tug Plane.
We are now towed to an altitude of 2000 feet and released into a thermal, with more of our members
joining in on the tugging side of things not a weekend goes by (unless it’s raining)without someone
volunteering to be tug pilot for the day.  On most days 70 percent of pilots who get towed up end up
spending at least an hour in the air. It takes a good 10 – 15 min for the tug to tow a glider up and by
the time the tug is ready for landing the next pilot is already waiting to be towed to the top.  

Dale and Piet have also arranged storage for our gliders in their hangers, so carting your glider to
and from the airfield is a thing of the past unless you end up doing a XC flight for the day.
