The Torrey Pines Gulls, one of the first 91快活林破解版 Chartered clubs dedicated solely to RC soaring, is celebrating it鈥檚 50th anniversary this year. The Gulls operate three fields in San Diego County: T in La Jolla, Poway Flight Center in Poway and Encinitas Flight Center in Encinitas; all used for various disciplines of soaring such as thermal, wench, discus launch and of course slope soaring. They have played host to the International Hand Launch Glider Festival for 25 years and helped in the development of FAI F3K as an aero modeling discipline. They鈥檝e also helped preserve and promote the history of soaring in San Diego County and the importance of locations like the Torrey Pines Gliderport for future generations to enjoy.
