Like every year we reviewed our tow pilot procedures, exchange safety and operational ideas to ensure safe towing operations in 2026. Everybody present I am sure took something away in the open discussions.

The grass started to grow and you made sure we are ready for it. Thank you very much for taking care of it!
Annual banquet together with our friends from SCOH at West Houston Airport
GHSA & SCOH were celebrating together another safe year of soaring in the Houston area. This year’s keynote speaker Mike Sorensen (15m National Champion in 2025) provided a detail inside review of his experience flying in the World Gliding Championship in Tabor, in Czechia. His mother Michelle received the SSA Exceptional Service Award, the highest SSA award for non-pilots for exceptional support of the soaring community. Many others of both clubs received awards for their best soaring performances and tireless support of their clubs.
