About Us

Truckee Tahoe Soaring Association (TTSA), a 501c3 non-profit, is a world-renowned gliderport at the Truckee Tahoe Airport in Truckee California, offering scenic adventure flights, instruction, youth STEM education programs, and pilot services. We generally operate from mid-May through the end of September.

Our Mission is to advance the science, art, and safety of soaring flight in the Northern California and Nevada regions, with a focus on inspiring our area youth’s interest in STEM, and helping them pursue careers as pilots, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and in other STEM-related jobs that are needed to help our communities and country prosper.

Soaring has been organized at the Truckee-Tahoe airport since the early 1960s. Various fixed base operators then managed glider operations for private glider pilots until Soar Truckee, Inc. was incorporated in the early 1980s. This organization provided glider rides to the public, gave flight instruction, and launched private pilots in their gliders until 2016 when the organization was re-structured as Truckee-Tahoe Soaring Association, and as a 501c3 non-profit corporation.
