Youth Aviation - The Next Generation

Glider pilots can earn their solo status as young as age 14, and their full glider private pilot rating at age 16. To do this requires dedication, and maturity at a level significantly above that of their peers. These are exceptional youngsters and we are proud to serve as role models in their development.
 
Truckee-Tahoe Soaring Association provides youngsters aged 13-18 with glider flight instruction. Many of our “Line Kids” have gone on to serve in both military and civilian aviation.

​How You Can Help

The young men and women assisting you with your aerial adventures are a critical part of making Truckee-Tahoe Soaring Association a success. They help on our flight line, they help our glider ride patrons into and out of our aircraft, they help our private pilots assemble their airplanes, and they are part of the “eyes and ears” on the flight line making sure that safety is achieved. They learn responsibility, the value of hard work, and how to work as a team to achieve a goal.
 
Flight instruction is expensive. Our Line kids earn credits from their efforts but it in no way pays for the instruction, which can cost up to $5,000 to get achieve a private glider rating. 100% of your donations to our Youth Aviation Scholarship Fund supports this effort- and all donations are tax deductible!
Please donate here to help the next generation achieve their aerial goals.  To save on additional fees, please feel free to mail a check to the address below.  If you prefer a credit or debit card, we encourage you to use the donation link to your right.
