Willamette Valley Soaring Club Introductory Glider Ride

http://www.wvsc.org/

We'll show you a flying experience like nothing else. Riding in a sailplane (or glider, if you prefer) is the purest form of flying there is.

You'll be sitting in the front seat of our glider with your pilot flying from the rear seat behind you. As you are towed to altitude behind one of our towplanes, the view will be breath-taking.

Once you have reached your release altitude, your pilot will release the glider from the towrope by pulling a lever, and you will find yourself in motorless, silent flight.

Now you are gently floating through the air, with plenty of time to take in the view. In the small, quiet setting of a sailplane, you will experience the true freedom of the skies!

Calling ahead to the field number at (503) 647-0913 is encouraged to find out details of the day's operation, but feel free to just drop in as well.

We operate from our field off the Dersham Road exit 55 from highway 26, just west of North Plains on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and most holidays starting as soon as the field becomes available in April and continuing on through the
summer into October.

Bring your sunglasses and a camera to take full advantage of your front seat flying experience!
