Aero Club Albatross (ACA) is a flying club for glider pilots.   Our goal is to promote and enjoy the art of soaring, motorless flight.

We fly year-round from Blairstown Airport (1N7) in Blairstown, New Jersey. The airport is 5 miles from the scenic Delaware Water Gap and the Kittatinny Ridge, and 65 miles from New York City and 100 miles from Philadelphia. We enjoy a wide variety of soaring conditions: thermal, wave, and ridge lift.

Aero Club Albatross was founded in 1929 by Gustav Scheurer, one of America’s aviation pioneers, and has been in continuous operation since then. Our club is open to licensed glider pilots as flying members and non-licensed folks as associate members. We enjoy social events throughout the year, including picnics, glider meets, and an annual banquet. We presently have around 60 members and we welcome new members. We count among our members newly minted pilots up through seasoned cross country and racing pilots, including National Soaring Champions.

Our monthly meetings are held in Denville, New Jersey. The club is governed by a board of directors. Officers are chosen from the board and major issues are voted on by the members.
