About Nutmeg Soaring Association
Freehold Airport
Set near the idyllic Catskill Mountains and adjacent to the beautiful Catskill Creek, the Nutmeg Soaring Association and Freehold Airport is the premiere aviation destination in the region and the only venue dedicated solely to the sport of Soaring!
Our Mission
We are a private, volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and enjoying the art, science, and safety of flying gliders. Anyone with an interest in aviation is welcome. Many power pilots find soaring not only a challenging diversion but an exceptional opportunity to sharpen their existing skills.
We offer ground and flight instruction to transitioning power pilots, and those with no flight experience whatsoever.
Nutmeg Soaring Association (NSA) has been Soaring since 1956!
Come Visit Freehold
Demo rides are available to the general public, but please call in advance to confirm flight readiness for the day. We also run a yearly open house in July so sign up to our social media to get the invite.
Experienced pilots can fly in for the day. Contact our airport manager to get field conditions and directions on where to tie down.
Flight Operations
Flight operations are every weekend mid April through early November with an encampment the week of July 4th. During the encampment week we fly from Saturday to the following Sunday. Many Saturday mornings one or more of our instructors can be found leading a ground school. All are welcome as safety and pilot readiness are our highest priorities.
