The Concho Valley Soaring Association was founded in 2009 for the purpose of flying sailplanes and promoting the sport of soaring in the San Angelo, TX area. We currently are a small group consisting of seven members and hope to grow. The club currently owns a Schweizer 2-33A, a two seat sailplane which is very popular for training new pilots.
Concho Valley Soaring Association now has access to a tow plane! Our club president has bought a 1959/60 Cessna 175 with a Continental O-470 engine conversion.
