Airports & Aircraft
Evergreen Soaring operates primarily out of Arlington Airport, located near Everett, Washington. However, the club takes several trips each year to other soaring destinations around Washington State. This allows members to experience the challenge and the thrill of flying from new and different locations.
The club owns tow planes and several gliders that are available to members. We aim to offer a variety of gliders, from 2-seat trainer aircraft to modern single-seat cross-country-capable sailplanes.

From our Equipment Director:
Here is what the constitution says about sailplane managers.
ARTICLE XXI - Sailplane Managers
Section 1: The Sailplane Managers shall implement the process set by the
Board of Directors and the Equipment Director for maintaining the gliders.
Section 2: The Sailplane Managers shall perform such duties connected with
the operation of the corporation as they may undertake at the suggestion of
the President and the Equipment Director.
Here is a detailed interpretation from the Equipment Director:
You need to be my eyes and legs. Usually I will get a report that something
is broken. The report is usually less than accurate. You need to:
1) Get to the ship.
2) Determine the real problem,
3) Think about what to do about it.
4) Know what you can or can't do about it (i.e. do I need an A&P?)
5) Proceed with the fix. If it is more than $200. Stop and let me get
approval.
6) Send in the receipts to get your money back.
During all or some of these steps, you need to talk to me so I know what is
going on and I can keep you on the good side of the board and the members.
