One introductory glider ride in a high-performance sailplane where you'll experience the purest form of flying there is. Bring a camera to take full advantage of your front seat flying experience! 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 breathtaking. 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!

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!
