About Us

Our purpose is to let people know the about the joy of Ultralight and light Experimental Aircraft. The motto of the USUA is "Fly for Fun!", this also applies to small general aviation and light Experimental aircraft. We are members of both the USUA (United States Ultralight Association) and the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association).

We instruct people in Ultralight flight and safety, offer introductory flights and ground school. We are located at the Santa Maria airport, Santa Maria, California. Weather here is beautiful most of the year, so there are lots of opportunities to fly. We also belong to a small group at Santa Maria airport that calls itself the 100 Horse Air Force. This group is by no means an organization. We attend local EAA functions and allow the public to view our aircraft. We also fly out on a regular basis just to have breakfast or lunch at a new location (hence the term the $100 hamburger).

We are authorized dealers for Quad City Challenger Ultralight aircraft and BRS Recovery Systems. Information can be sent upon request for either of these products. We are also board members of a new corporation called Haul-A-Hangar, Inc. We manufacture for sale a patended, portable hangar. This hangar is a great alternative for those of you who are unable to obtain hangar space for your aircraft, or who wish to keep your plane on your own property. We will have the website available soon for Haul-A-Hangar and will place a link to it once it is completed.

Blue Skies Above! and Fly for Fun!
