All About Us
Our Facilities
Williams Soaring provides a private airport with a 2300
ft paved runway, pilot bunk rooms with kitchenette, heating, air
conditioning, bath rooms & shower. We have a pilot lounge with a DUATS
weather computer, training and briefing room. We also provide glider
trailer storage.
Our Location
We are located near the Southern edge of the Mendocino
Mountains, well known for fantastic summer and fall cross country flying.
Also, the airport's valley situation creates favorable conditions for
spring and early summer adventures. Mountain Wave is also encountered when
the "westerlies" blow, usually post-frontal in winter and early
spring. And finally the famous Maxwell shear is a phenomenon in the
summer. This intrusion of marine air into the heated Sacramento Valley air
mass is known for creating great soaring conditions and you'll find it
right on our doorstep.
