Located at the Harris Hill gliderport, the Harris Hill Soaring Corporation is a non-profit glider club dedicated to advancing the sport of soaring. Flight enthusiasts have been soaring in Elmira since the 1930s, and in 1938, it became the country's first permanent site for hosting national soaring competitions. Harris Hill still hosts national soaring contests on a regular basis, but the club also welcomes people with little or no flying experience, and flying lessons are available to anyone who wants to become a pilot. If you're not interested in getting your license, you can also take an exhilarating passenger flight with an experienced commercial pilot.
