Whether you are already a rated glider pilot, have aviation experience and want to learn to fly gliders, or are completely new to aviation, TSS welcomes you!

Perhaps the best way to get a feel for soaring is to come to Garner Gliderport, talk to club members, and watch operations. Visitors are always welcome. If you are interested, but still uncertain about becoming involved, we encourage you to share a flight with a club member and experience soaring for yourself. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the great visibility from inside a glider will offer you an amazing view of the world below. Flying a glider is pure flying – it is recreational, or sport aviation. There are few instruments and few procedures compared to transportation aviation. Your goal is to stay aloft and reach a destination using the power of the sun. It’s amazing what a glider can do!

Tidewater Soaring Society accepts new members year round!
