Discovery Flight Information
Experience the exhilaration of motorless flight. Picture yourself in the front seat of a modern 2-place high performance sailplane. Soaring like a hawk, high above the Georgia Countryside.
Soaring is an exciting and rewarding sport for people from 14 to 85, male and female. It is very affordable and not just a sport for the rich and privileged alone. Flying in gliders is not at all like flying in commercial airliners. When gliding you are part of your surroundings, not just a passenger in a metal tube. It's "seat of the pants" flying, rather like that enjoyed by pioneer aviators. Flying a glider well depends on your aptitude, skill and judgment, coupled with a thorough training
Soaring may lead to a new relationship with the sky and can easily turn into a love affair, an affair that could last the rest of your life. Even people who try gliding merely for a new experience or a holiday may find that their relationship with the sky changes. While others may happily ignoring the spectacle above their heads, those who have experienced the joy soaring may find themselves regularly walking into lamp posts.
