Experience one of the purest forms of flying on this 30-minute scenic glider ride as you soar with the birds in silent flight!
Year-Round:
Saturday and Sunday - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Wear clothing appropriate for being outdoors in the current weather. In summer it’s warm, and if you are comfortable with shorts on the ground, you will be comfortable with shorts in the glider. In winter it will be as cold in the glider as it is standing on the ground. Please bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (if needed).
Unfortunately, this experience is not handicapped accessible.
You will be riding in a an ASK-21 Sailplane
The best time to fly is whenever you can get there! Flights before 1:00 pm are the smoothest. During the heat of the day there is more unstable air so it is better soaring, but bumpier. So, it is more your decision on the type of ride you want.

No, you are towed to the altitude appropriate for your ride. Once there, your pilot will release the glider from the tow plane. Then, for the duration of your flight, you soar quietly through the air back to the airport.
