Welcome!!!

 

The Texas Soaring Association (TSA) is a non-profit corporation devoted to motorless flight. Established in 1947, the club is located 15 minutes south of Midlothian, Texas, which is itself at the southern edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The club is maintained and operated by the voluntary efforts of its more than 200 members. The club operates from its own airfield and owns six single and four two-place sailplanes, plus four Pawnee towplanes.  TSA operates year round on most flyable Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The club also operates on an unscheduled basis on other weekdays when the flying weather is really good!

 

Learn to Fly A Glider !!!

 

Why learn to fly gliders?

 The Wright brothers knew that the way to get into aviation was through gliders.  Their experiments in design and practical application in flying gliders helped them to understand the complexities of powered flight.  If you are new to aviation, learning to fly gliders provides basic skills valuable to any aviation pursuit.

 If you are an experienced pilot, you could join the rank of glider pilots such as Steve Fossett, Neil Armstrong, Chesley Sullenberger and many other renowned aviators.  Flying sailplanes may re-introduce you to the joy of basic flight which doesn’t require noisy, gas guzzling engines or complicated technology to fly.
