Soaring

It’s time to strap yourself in and learn the fundamentals of flight first-hand. Soaring is a 15-day program at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO, designed to give you the opportunity to experience the basic fundamentals of flight in non-powered glider operations.

What to expect from the Soaring program:

• Your first flight experience, in the TG-7A motorglider
• 8 to 15 flights total
• 5 hours per day on the flight line
• Learn aircraft controls, checklist, pattern work, and the perspective to earth
• This program assumes that you have no previous flight experience
