SOSA Gliding Club

I've wanted to fly in a glider for a few years. This year, my husband gave me an intro experience for my birthday. I went on a Monday and had a wonderful time. This club is run by volunteers, so the vibe is chill and casual. Chris and Emile made it an informative and thoroughly entertaining experience, super friendly guys. My first flight was as I expected, so graceful, peaceful, floating in the air like a bird. Great take-off and landing at the hands of Chris, who even let me fly for a bit! 30 minutes of bliss in the sky, an escape from the world below - no engine, no vibrations, just the sound of wind through the vent. It only made me want to do more. I came away feeling so zen and relaxed....yeah, I'll be coming back, but I'm gonna learn how to fly this thing next time.

Amazing experience today for my daughter (14) gliding for the first time with Reza! Highly recommended.

My wife and I both had an introductory flight.It was incredible.Having experience flying powered aircraft, I believe all of us pilots should experience this. No headphones necessary. So quiet and peaceful. Beautiful. Like an eagle capturing and floating in thermalsThe staff and crew are all volunteer and totally professional and enthusiastic.They will make your experience one to never forget.

This is the best place ever! The people here are the most passionate people in the world about gliding and soaring. I was able to finish my flight training in just 2 months thanks to the dedicated instructors. I will definitely be a regular at SOSA for the rest of my life. SOSA is such a positive influence in my life. I highly recommend SOSA to everyone.

The introductory flight is a must-do experience! Booking was seamless; Mo promptly responded to my email and guided me through the booking process.The grounds are well maintained, and everyone there is friendly. Our pilot Bob is great! He took his time explaining everything to us.Make sure you wear sunscreen, bring a hat, water bottle, and bug spray. Wear comfortable clothes. Don't forget your mask.The experience itself is fantastic. It is so quiet up there. I especially enjoyed the zero-gravity feeling.SOSA is a nonprofit organization. Please support these super friendly folks by booking an introductory flight. Everyone at this club donates their time. You will enjoy the ride.Thank you, SOSA Gliding club! I had a great day!

This is a gem. The experience was incredible and memorable. Andy is such a kind and friendly intro flight instructor. He made the experience worth the trip. The place is very serene and homey. I'm happy to have spent my birthday here.

Had a bit of a wait since there was a shortage of intro" pilots and since I didn't pre-book the flight. Just showed up on a holiday. That being said

Bought an intro flight as a birthday gift. It was great! Everyone involved from the gliding club was a pleasure. They were friendly, welcoming and went out of their way to explain things and to make the flight a lot of fun.Would definitely recommend as a gift for anyone on your list who is even a bit adventurous.

Big sense of community in this club. I was invited by a member and was very welcomed. Everyone pitches in for maintaining the grounds and equipment. Made for a very great day.

You will probably wait 4-5 hours for an Intro flight. Weekends do not run as advertised they are very much only concerned with members and their flights. They're is only *one* glider for intros and at times it was used for members. We were 3rd in line and waited 5 hours before the glider was even available. I paid $200 dollars to waste a Sunday waiting outside. If you want the experience I suggest finding another service.The members are all very nice, it is just a shame it is so disorganized.
