Whether you are an experienced pilot seeking to explore new terrain or new to the sport and curious about what soaring has to offer, the Northwest Soar Club welcomes you to swing on in and join us for a day or a lifetime.

If you are new to the sport and simply looking for the ride of a lifetime, come and take an introductory flight with one of our experienced pilots. You will experience first hand the quite wonder of seemingly motionless flight while sitting above some of the most glorious countryside in the Midwest. With Lake Michigan to the west, the cities of Frankfort and Elberta surrounding the historic Betsie Bay, and the many crystal clear inland lakes you will find the sport of soaring as enchanting as it is exciting. Prices begin at $55 to join our club for a day and taking an introductory flight. Click here for more information about introductory flights.

As an experienced pilot, you will find an opportunity to swap soaring tales with other pilots who have helped develop the sport in our area. Take a flight and soar along the bluffs and ridges of Lake Michigan that on the right day can keep you aloft for hours to enjoy the sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

The Northwest Soaring Club is located at the Frankfort airport just east of the city of Frankfort and less than an hour drive from Traverse City or Manistee. For directions and a map to the airport, click here.
