Crystal Airport is primarily a Glider-port, that is home to the Southern California Soaring Academy, a glider school and FBO at the airport.

Between 1936 and 1940, the gliderport was so popular that San Diego Mayor Percy J. Benbough dedicated the gliderport "to the youth of California" on January 1, 1939. [7] [8]

Alternatively, glider pilots on cross-country flights may choose to 'dolphin'. This is when the pilot merely slows down in rising air, and then speeds up again in the non-rising air, thus following an undulating flight path.
