The annual Ephrata Dust-Up event will be held on Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26, 2025. Come and enjoy the special soaring that Ephrata offers, along with the excellent facilities! 

This event will emphasize cross country training for the soaring pilot who wants to stretch their legs and move beyond flying close to the airport. We suggest that you complete the SSA Bronze Badge at your local club before coming to this event. There are several videos on the SGCSF YouTube channel to help you get started with Flying XC, the EPH area, and the Dust Up.

We have a number of dual cross-country flights available to aspiring XC pilots. Your club can make even more possible - please let the event organizer know if your club is bringing a cross-country-capable two-place glider! 

If there are pilots that want to get an introduction to racing, we will have a daily meeting to discuss tasks and strategies; and we may post tasks for you to try.
