A brief history of likeminded individuals who have flown on the Fairview Mesa since 1963, with Harbor Soaring Society (HSS) being founded and charted by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) in 1964, now serving over 60 members and 100+ non-members, with a focus on exposing people of all ages and genders to the miracle of flight by offering perfectly safe (free) flight training. The club has always been concerned with being good stewards of the mesa environs, now Fairview Park, through many community activities and involvement in park improvements and cleanup activities.
