Keepit Soaring Club

About

YKEP Lake Keepit Soaring Club Operations. The airfield itself has multiple runways to cope with any wind direction and there are lots of safe out-landing areas surrounding the site. The main surface is grass, however there are 400 meter bitumen sealed strips at either end of the 1.7 km main runway (runways 32/14). Agricultural and farm strips and good fields abound in the district, so there’s no reason to be out of range of a suitable site for an out-landing. Hang-gliders, ultra-lights, gyrocopters, helicopters and paragliders also put in occasional appearances at the LKSC airfield. The world-famous Mt. Borah paragliding site is 30km north-east at Manilla; the Sky Ranch ultralight strip is 2 km north-east of us and helicopters and aircraft come from Tamworth to practice at our airstrip, even at night
