Stanton Glider Instruction
"Stanton offers the best value glider instruction program in the area!"
Gliders are really a great way to learn to fly as well as a great way to enjoy aviation. The costs are low and the thrills are high. On good soaring days, a soaring pilot can stay up for 5 or more hours and go hundreds of miles. Minnesota offers some of the best soaring conditions in the USA. Give it a try!
Young adults can solo legally at age 14!
