WeGlide Flight Statistics
Why We Built This
The Minden Soaring Club developed this WeGlide Statistics Project to showcase the extraordinary soaring activity taking place at Minden-Tahoe Airport. By combining WeGlide flight data with custom reporting tools, we provide a living historical record of flights flown by MSC members, visiting pilots, and the broader soaring community. The project highlights pilot achievements, promotes participation in WeGlide, and helps tell the story of one of the world’s premier soaring destinations.
Data is updated regularly to provide an accurate picture of soaring activity while maintaining fast page performance for visitors.
