Have you ever watched an eagle as it soared effortlessly above you and dreamed of gliding through the air with such ease and grace, rising with the air currents?  You can, you know.  Soaring in modern sailplanes gives you the opportunity to fly like the eagles.  Today's sailplanes can fly for hours and cover great distances.  Come join us and begin living your dream of flying like an eagle.

The Greater Houston Soaring Association is made up of members from the Houston area organized for the purpose of educating the public and its members about the sport of soaring. GHSA is a non-profit corporation and is a chapter of the Soaring Society of America (SSA).

We fly year round and operate every weekend and holiday (weather permitting) from the GHSA Gliderport, just East of Wallis, Texas.  We provide instruction to our members and have programs for beginners and experienced pilots. We can prepare you for all your ratings up to Certified Flight Instructor - Glider.
