Women Soaring Pilots Association
The purpose of the Women Soaring Pilots Association is
to promote all aspects of soaring for women glider pilots.
About WSPA
The WSPA was founded June 11, 1986 in Tucson, AZ. The charter meeting was the result of a year's effort and input by the pilots who attended the 1985 Women Soaring Seminar at Air Sailing near Reno, NV. Our current membership exceeds 200 pilots including International pilots.
The highlight of each year is the Annual Women Soaring Seminar where members from all over the country meet to encourage and support each other and to soar.
Check the Seminar tab for more information about the annual seminar.
WSPA is a proud division of the SSA.
