WSSA/ESI Merger !
The Washington State Soaring Association has merged with
Evergreen Soaring.
For a brief update go over to the News Page.
For all future updates and for your new club website, head over to the
Evergreen Soaring Website.
Welcome !
The Washington State Soaring Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, training, equipping and facilitating its members to participate in the sport of soaring. Membership is open to anybody interested in any aspect of flying sailplanes.
The members of the WSSA share in flying six club owned sailplanes towed behind Piper SuperCub and Pawnee towplanes. Many members also have or share ownership in privately owned sailplanes. We fly out of the Arlington Municipal Airport almost every weekend of the year, weather permitting. This is where the majority of our instruction takes place.
During the summer months, we also move part of our fleet east of the cascades to
Ephrata, where the weather and terrain are more conducive to extended soaring and
cross-country flying. On days with favorable weather, it is not unusual for
experienced pilots to stay aloft five or six hours and to travel hundreds of
miles in the Upper Columbia Basin's world class soaring conditions.
