Adelaide Airsports is a renowned sports club located in Strathalbyn Airfield, South Australia. Established in 1985 as the South Coast Hang Gliding Centre, the club initially focused on providing specialised hang gliding training for the local community. However, in the following years, the club expanded its services to include microlight aircraft as well.
In 1991, Adelaide Airsports established a permanent facility for its microlight school at the Strathalbyn Airfield and in June 1992, became one of the few microlight schools to receive full approval from the Civil Aviation Authority at the time.
