Youth Soaring

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.

Youth Aviation Camp 2018 is here!

Truckee-Tahoe Soaring Association will again hold it’s summer Youth Glider Camp August 6-9. There are six openings for youngsters ages 14-18. Learn about the full range of aviation opportunities: piloting (glider flights), aeronautical education, and tours of the Fallon Naval Air Station, the Reno ATC Control Tower, maintenance facilities, helicopter air rescue, airport administration, etc.  

Apply through the 'Contact Us' tab.
