WHAT IS SOARING?

You may already have an interest in aviation but perhaps you have not yet discovered the joy and excitement of gliding. If this is the case, let us share with you our enthusiasm for what we regard as the ultimate sport.

Gliding, sometimes called soaring, is motor-less flight. Gliders use naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena, called "LIFT", to gain altitude and stay aloft. The beauty of the earth quietly moves beneath as you soar across the countryside. Often we share the bright blue sky with beautiful birds such as the hawk.. Mans dream of soaring like an eagle can be accomplished.

Soaring is one of the safest, most economical, challenging and rewarding forms of flight. Soaring frequently offers the chance to remain aloft for many hours and travel hundreds of miles without creating a sound.
