Safe Pilots with Tail-Wheel Experience Needed

Do you have a single-engine land rating with at least 30 hours of recent tail-wheel experience? If so, and you are serious about safety and risk mitigation, you may be able to join our association as a tow-pilot member (or as a full member if you wish). Our tow pilot members tow the gliders up. Our tow pilots are critical to our operation, and our tow pilot-only members pay only $55 a month to fly our Cessna Ag Wagons for free while towing a glider. Please call 979-398-5827 or email info@houstonsoaring.org for more information.
