School overview

About Greater Houston Soaring Association

Greater Houston Soaring Association is a volunteer-run nonprofit operating GHSA-Wallis Glideport east of Wallis, Texas. Its FAA-certificated instructors train members from first flight and solo through private, commercial and Certified Flight Instructor-Glider ratings, and also provide cross-country soaring instruction.

Instruction is part of club membership, with students paying aircraft-rental and aerotow costs and contributing one volunteer duty day each month. The association also schedules introductory flights in two-place sailplanes on weekends and maintains club gliders, towplanes and a ground-based Condor simulator. The listing now uses the complete organization name, official field address and coordinates, general-information phone and documented ratings.
