About Us
Welcome to the Hamilton Soaring Club, right here in the heart of Hamilton, Texas. Since our start in 2016, we’ve transformed from a small group of flying enthusiasts into a thriving hub for pilots and gliding aficionados. Here, the wide-open Texas skies are more than just scenery; they're our playground.
​
On weekends, you’ll find us taking full advantage of good weather, riding the thermals with precision and enthusiasm. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, we shift our focus to maintenance and fellowship, often sharing stories of our aerial exploits as we keep our community and equipment in top shape.
​
Our club is a sanctuary for growth and learning. We’re dedicated to helping beginners and seasoned flyers alike discover the joys of gliding, offering extensive training programs that open the door to the skies. It’s not just about flying; it’s about becoming part of a community that values the purity and challenge of engine-less flight.
​
At the heart of our club’s philosophy is the belief that gliding captures the true spirit of aviation—silently dancing with the wind, using nature’s own forces to move gracefully through the air. Whether you’re launching with a tow or trying out auto-tow methods, every flight at Hamilton is a celebration of skill and adventure.
​
If you’ve never experienced the thrill of gliding, consider this your invitation to join us for a discovery flight. It’s your chance to be part of something extraordinary—enjoy breathtaking views, capture memorable moments, and maybe even share this unique experience with friends.
​
Dive into the history of our club and you’ll find roots stretching back to Odessa, Texas, where the seeds for our community were first sown at Schlemeyer Field. Our founders saw the potential of Hamilton as a perfect soaring site, and over the years, we’ve grown from a passionate group to a strong community of 65+ members.
​
We're proud of our site at KMNZ, historically significant as a training ground for WWII glider pilots and ideal for soaring contests today. With its open fields, favorable weather, and supportive community, every visit to Hamilton Soaring Club is a step back to the essentials of flight.
​
Join us, and let your adventure take flight at the Hamilton Soaring Club, where every journey through the skies is a homage to the timeless art of gliding. Your next adventure in the clouds starts with us.
