First add-on certificate completed!
On July 3rd, Ray Hickman passed his checkride with flying colors, after several days of instruction from Fred LaSor and Gabe Bourbeau. One of Ray's solo flights was over one hour, and he managed to complete his SSA "A" and "B" Badge requirements. We look forward to seeing a lot more of Ray in the future.

Dominique Perrin contacted us from France several months ago to say he dreamed of soaring in Minden. We scheduled him with Fred (who is fluent in French) and he just happened to arrive when the Sierra wave was working nicely. Here's a photo he sent us of Lake Tahoe from 12,000' over Minden. He hopes to hold a glider camp in Ouarzazat, Morocco, next year. We hope he invites us!

Pat Alford writes us a note "Soaring Dreams Do Come True," about a long-held dream of soaring from Minden to Mono Lake AND BACK! He includes a photo he took of Mono from over Potato Peak on June 14, when he and Fred flew DDX past Mt. Patterson and back on a lovely day.

Minden is ideally located for soaring pilots who want to experience soaring at its best.
We are situated at the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada escarpment, where prevailing winds tumble into the Carson Valley and generate the most consistent high-altitude mountain wave in the world.  High altitude flights are possible here year-'round using "nature's elevator", and record long distance flights are also possible in mountain wave.  Come give it a go!


At the western edge of America's Great Basin, Minden is also the ideal location to set off on long-distance soaring flights during our summer thermal season.  Come fly hundreds of kilometers  daily between June and September.


SoaringNV has highly qualified instructors and top-flight equipment for you to experience this sensational soaring.  The best instructors available, the best equipment we can find, in the world's best location! 

Come fly with SoaringNV!
