Sailplane Rides

We will show you a flying experience like nothing else.  Riding in a sailplane is the purest form of flying there is.  You will 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 our towplane the view will be breathtaking.

Gift Certificates are available at $200 for an approximately 20 minute ride for 1 person.  Weight limits apply.

See also “FAST Certificates” available at SSA.org for your first instruction flight.
