Aerobatics in California

We’re Chapter 36 of the International Aerobatic Club. Since 1975, we’ve promoted precision aerobatics through coaching, competition, and camaraderie.

Each year, IAC36 hosts two of the largest aerobatic contests in the country. Everyone from student pilots to world-level competitors takes part, so we’ve got a spot for you!

Our home airport is Borrego Valley (L08), where you’ll find the world’s finest, permanent, surface-waivered aerobatic box.
