Bloemfontein Gliding Club has two Ka7's, a SF-25 and several member owned gliders. Soaring Safaris visits the club from October to February each year, and they also have several gliders that are for rent by qualified pilots. (Including beasts like the ASH 25 and Nimbus 3)
The Gliding Club operates on 4 (actually 3) runways: 36/18 Grass, 31/18 Asphalt (In middle of 36/18), 31/13 Grass, 27/09 Grass. The other runways on Tempe Airfield are used by the power flying club and cross runways 36/18 and 27/09. The power flying club and the gliding club has an agreement that they will not use crossing runways, although gliding pilots should always be on the lookout for the odd cross wind landing or take-off by powered aircraft. The Sky diving club also uses the "square" between the gliding Club and New Tempe runways on weekends for their parachute landings.
