For more than 45 years, The Cleveland Soaring Society has promoted soaring in Northeastern Ohio.  The society is a private club with a current membership of about twenty soaring enthusiasts.  It operates out of Geauga County airport (7G8), located in Middlefield, Ohio and is central to the cities of Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown.

 

The club owns four gliders, one tow plane and is home base for an additional seven privately owned gliders.  Instruction is available for club members.  The club currently flies on Wednesdays and weekends, weather permitting.  glider rides ohio, soaring in ohio, gliding

Although the Soaring Society is a private club, the public is always welcome and we offer introductory glider flights to the general public.  So, whether you are thinking about joining a club, are interested in experiencing the freedom of soaring flight for the first time or just want to check out our operations, please stop by and visit us.

Cleveland Soaring's 2009 Officially Opened - Saturday, April 11, 2009
The Cleveland Soaring Society officially started the 2009 season on Saturday, March 11th with gliding operations. We had 13 glider flights for the day - not bad considering the strong cross wind out of the north. Later in the day conditions improved enough to generate thermals for soaring. It was a good start to the new season.
