The Cu Nim Gliding Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the sport of soaring. Our club is made up of roughl ... y 60 passionate pilots, a dozen instructors, two high-performance two-seat gliders for training and mentoring, as well as three single-seat gliders for licensed pilots to explore Southern Alberta. We are located just outside of Black Diamond, and serve anyone interested in gliding in Calgary and surrounding areas. We offer introductory flights to the general public, as well as a membership and associated privileges to licensed pilots looking for new challenges, and those wishing to learn to fly! No flight experience? No problem! We love introducing new people to the sport of soaring! Individuals can solo as early as age 14 (and start younger), and can license at 16. We have students from their teens to their 90s – soaring is relatively easy on the body and great fuel for the mind. read more
