The Sandhill Soaring Club (SSC) is a cooperative, nonprofit organization that exists to provide an opportunity for its members to learn to fly gliders and to enjoy the sport of soaring at moderate cost. We have approximately 100 members.
We are a chapter of the Soaring Society of America (SSA).
SSC conducts flight operations out of Richmond Field (69G) located at Gregory, Michigan.
